Goodreads asked Laura Susan Johnson:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Laura Susan Johnson Honestly, there are mysteries buried deep within my subconscious that I'm afraid to unearth. As a child, I was at the mercy of evil adults while my mother was at work, and so the memories are muddled and I feel that the fact that I can't remember clearly might be something to be thankful for. In the meantime, I'm exploring the worst of my relationship with my father in my WIP Armour. There's a seldom explored kind of child abuse that I want people to be more aware of that happens in Armour, and that is parental terrorism: the torture and terrorism of your child as a means to get that child to behave a certain way or perform certain tasks. This happened to me, and I want other people this might have happened to who are still angry and traumatised to know they're not alone.
