The Road Behind the Story
The Empty Return draws on the real world of European road transport, factories, ferries, borders, routiers and long-distance runs across the continent.
The roads, routines and atmosphere come from years spent doing the job for real, while the story itself takes that familiar working world somewhere much darker.
From Novel to AI Film Project
The Empty Return is now moving beyond the page. Using AI filmmaking tools, I’m developing Tim and Petra’s world on screen, the Volvo, the factories, the ferries, the routiers and the long road to Istanbul while keeping the period, characters and working life grounded in the original story.
