"Dirk, what were your sources of inspiration when writing 'The Tempest In Glass'? “Stylistically, the writings of Ian Fleming, Dashiell Hammet, and Raymond Chandler were foundational. I’ve done some traveling, so that played into the global trek. The romantic elements were distilled from turns in my own life. Creatively—certainly the Bible—and philosophy. The book’s overall theology doesn’t adhere to any specific dogma. It’s sort of this eclectic amalgam of tradition and hypothetical fiction. It draws from Christianity, spiritualism, prisca theologia, archaeology, astronomy, and mythology. Music was big too. One day I was randomly listening to Bernard Herrmann’s score to Journey To The Center Of The Earth, and it really spoke to the mood I wanted for the climax and the scenes leading up to it. Also a huge influence was the 1984 film, Temple Of Doom. I love the darkness and danger in that. It’s gritty and brutal, and I wanted my protagonist and his sidekick to experience that same kind of agony that Indy and Shortround do. The deeper you take your readers into darkness, the higher you can lift them at the climax, and at the end.”
