Sammy,
Sorry for the delay on this, but I wanted to respond to your question about my inspiration. I saw that you read The Ridge. Hope you liked it! For that particular book, I used to chaperone a field trip to Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center in northern Minnesota. As an English teacher, I have always enjoyed telling stories, so I used to tell the students ghost stories up there. Over the course of a few years, one of the stories took shape and I wrote it down. Eventually it became The Ridge. So, in this case, my inspiration was the north woods, my students and my love for ghost stories. Hope this helps and feel free to keep the questions coming!

Sincerely,
Nick Hupton

The Importance of Plot

I'm back!  It's been quite a while since my last blog post- I've been awfully busy promoting Stone Ridge, writing my next novel, and most importantly, teaching.  Sorry for the delay.

So, I just finished a YA book called The Opposite of Music, by Janet Ruth Young.  It tells the story of Billy, a teenager in Boston, whose father has been diagnosed with depression.  It's a profound and important premi Read more of this blog post »
