Brenda Marie Smith
I got the idea for If Darkness Takes Us mostly from observing the environmental degradation surrounding me, and from listening to progressive internet radio where these issues are discussed. One show in particular discussed the potential for my novel's inciting incident, and that spark came together with another idea of mine to have a grandmother and her grandchildren try to survive a disaster together. Next thing you know, I was writing the book.
