🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Marieke Nijkamp
When she was a child, she read “De brief voor de knoing”, a Dutch novel written by Tonke Dragt, and from there felt compelled to begin writing herself. And as a lifelong student of stories, ideas, and language, she spends just as much time in fictional worlds as she does the real world. For “This is Where it Ends”, she did a ton of research. For every hour she actually spent writing, she spent another (at the very least) researching. She read these firsthand accounts of shootings, plowed through pages upon pages of investigative reports, talked with people, she listened to different 911 calls, kept up with social media and news feeds while active shooter situations emerged. She familiarized herself with the psychology of getting held at gunpoint.
