This is a very short playlist to go along with my answers. I was going to say the entire Radiohead album, The Bends, but figured that would probably be too long so I picked my favourite songs. Great idea : )
"I wanted to write a story with a hint of supernatural. In The Cypress Trap, the events revolve around a rabbit’s foot that may bring good luck, or it may just be in the owner’s head. There are so many stories, whether its ghosts or magic, where the supernatural is a tangible, concrete force affecting the characters. But in real life, it’s never that tangible."
"The inspiration for my latest book, Affected, came to me about seven years ago. It began as a short story idea, perhaps 2,500 words, about a young woman who runs away from her life because her stressors were too difficult to handle. Over the years, I kept adding to that short story until there was so much story to tell that those 2,500 words became a trilogy of novels."
"I wanted the story to be reminiscent of an old-school space adventure, through the eyes of a young girl struggling for survival. I wanted her to be resourceful but not particularly wise yet, and to have a strong desire for redemption without fully understanding what that might involve. So an end-of-the-world scenario seemed like a good fit!
