Amanda Linsmeier has been a book nerd as long as she can remember, and it was that great love of reading—especially R.L. Stine novels and fairytales—that eventually brought her to writing her own stories. In high school, she won the senior class vote for “Most Romantic Girl”, a title she’s still ridiculously pleased with. She feels most joyful when writing, scream-singing her favorite songs, playing in the water, and laughing with her beloved family. She lives in a magical place with a man who smells like maple syrup and woodsmoke, their wonderfully wild children, a dog, and an assortment of half-feral cats.

To answer your question, actually I haven't read a ton of gothic novels-- definitely something I'd like to explore more-- but I grew up reading creepy stories, like Fear Street, and I'm sure some parts of those inspirations made their way into the story :) It's definitely got some nods to classic fairytales and favorite books and music as well.

Thanks so much for your interest. Ditch Flowers is no longer in print. Unfortunately, the price on Amazon is higher than the original, but you may have luck on Ebay? Alternatively, the audiobook is available through Amazon Audible for the next year or so. Hope that helps! (less)
