Blake Crouch
For the last decade, I’ve wanted to write a story that hinges on quantum mechanics. I tried several times to write a version of Dark Matter� getting into SPOILER TERRITORY HERE� Three separate storylines had been teasing me, and I’d tried and failed to write them all separately. One storyline involved the box. Another involved the idea of meeting yourself. And the last was about a man being hopelessly lost in time. The novelist Marcus Sakey is one of my good friends, and we always meet up at the inception stage of a new book to pressure-check each other on our ideas. While we were in Chicago two years ago, I was pitching each of these ideas to him separately, when it occurred to me they were actually all part of the same story. They suddenly clicked together, like puzzle pieces, and I was off and running. I find the writing process endlessly mysterious and wonderful.

Do you have an estimated launch date for your next book? I've read, re-read and listened to Dark Matter and Recursion, so I'm very much looking forward to the next one! Also, how involved are you with the selection of narrators for your audiobooks? I thought Jon Lindstrom was a great choice for Dark Matter and Recursion. Do you get a variety of samples to choose from, and then you put forward your fave? Thanks!
