Craig DiLouie is an author of thrillers, apocalyptic/horror, and science fiction. He has been nominated for major literary awards such as the Bram Stoker Award and Audie Award, translated into multiple languages, and optioned for film. He is a member of the HWA, SFWA, International Thriller Writers, and IFWA. Warning novels are important. So like Sinclair Lewis It Can’t Happen here felt like a well-timed warning 90 years after it was published. With Our War, Craig DiLouie was put in an uncomfortable place as the author of a warning novel that appeared to be coming true on January 6th, 2021. When right-wing seditionists tried to start the very conflict, he warned about it. In this interview talk about his earlier novels but our main focus is Our War a novel set in a second modern American civil war in Indianapolis my home state. So, we talk about American politics, Indiana, the warning novel. The first half of the interview is non-spoiler but in the second half we drill down on the nuts and bolts of writing this book.
