To be honest, it doesn't.
Despite what many people might think, growing up in the middle of nowhere does little for your imagination. There are no rolling hills that hobbits might hide in, and there certainly aren't any castles that I can look at.
What influences me are the people I live near. Some are good, some are bad, and I suppose I let their personalities influence my characters, but as far as the scenery goes, there's not a whole lot to look at :)
Another excellent question, T.J:)
