How do you get inspired to write?
Kathbell Stumpf Growing up, I had a passion for reading books by C.S. Lewis, J.R. Tolkien, and Anne Rice. I dreamed of becoming a writer with an imagination fed by living in different countries like England, New Zealand, and the United States. These places with their own history, landscapes, and stories helped fuel my imagination. I grew up writing and telling stories to my family since she was I young girl.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Kathbell Stumpf I grew up singing the Mary Mary rhyme and clapping along with my friends, a very popular thing to do on the playgrounds at school. As an adult, I was teaching the rhyme to my neice and just had the thought, "where did that rhyme come from and who was Miss Mary?". When i googled it, I found that their are theories, but the true origin was unknown. I then thought to myself, that her dress (as described in the rhyme) sounded like a 19th centry mourning dress, then the idea just came to me. I felt inspired to write my own version of the truth and bring life to Miss Mary Mack.
