So THE LIFE BELOW was a bit like flying with no road map as I was imagining the characters in their new spaceship environment, and of course on Europa! I think I’m most proud of this book because of all the creativity that went into it.īetween Leo and Naomi, who surprised you the most in the sequel? I was a little intimidated by how much more imagination and world-building this sequel required! The first book was set on Earth, and even though it was a very different, ravaged version of our planet, I was still writing about places we all know, and the key setting of the book, International Space Training Camp, was based on NASA’s Astronaut Training program in Houston.
