Goodreads asked A. Nation:

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

A. Nation In The Pottery Sale, I visited my sister's pottery shop and based their shop layout on her shop in Salem, Oregon. She helped me a great deal on the manipulation of the clay and to the firing of the ceramic. When I go to visit her again, I'll leave a few books in their pottery sales room.
Another aspect to The Pottery Sale is the fact that I live near Firth, Idaho which is the location of the story.
In the beginning when my character sits down for breakfast, I too had a Corelle plate explode in front of me.
Read how ancient mytholigical characters intertwine with the local Indian spirits to rid their kingdom of the evil witch and the killer in the real world.
