If this has been discussed, I appologize (but I did do a search...)

One of the most fascinating aspects of Chuck's stories is the way he drops true facts/nuggets of info in his stories. I was wondering where he got it from & if anyone here knew where.

Thanks,
CK

I think I read that he likes to spending a few weeks reading random books in libraries while writing a book.

That would explain it.
It's awesome how he just drops them into the stories and they just fit so perfectly.

I know he did that when he wrote "Hot Potting" for Haunted. Apparently he read some book about all the people that died in freak accidents at Yellowstone.

I didn't know if there was anything else though.

Thanks for the response.

I haven't read Haunted, so I'm pretty sure I was reading about how he wrote another book.
