A note from the author There was a time around fifteen years ago when I could not find a publisher for anything I wrote. One book was set in a London, which was at the epicentre of a global pandemic. It was a city in total lockdown. A virus was claiming thousands of lives. The scenario I described wasn’t drawn from my imagination. It was based on detailed pandemic planning done by both the British and the Americans in the early 2000s. The literary establishment was highly sceptical. It was unrealistic. A lockdown could never happen in modern day Britain. No-one would publish it. I had forgotten about my book. It wasn’t until a reader suggested that I write a thriller set against the backdrop of a Coronavirus lockdown that I realised that I had already done just that. Suddenly what I had written in 2005 was no longer ‘OTT’. It was actually happening. When I originally wrote Lockdown no-one could identify with it. Now everyone can. It is our common experience. And isn’t that what writers are meant to do – describe and explore the human condition, the world we experience as a human race? – Peter May, March 2020.
