Are all the settings you utilized for Liars Candle real locations (want to do some Google Maps searches to appreciate them more) Or are some of them fictionalized?

Hi Samuel,
I'm sorry - I don't know how I missed your question! Almost all of the locations are real, but a couple (like the Okyanus Salon and the monastery) are fictionalized amalgams of real places, l. If you're curious, here are two of the monasteries I visited which helped inspire the one in the book:

If you're curious what Turkey's actual presidential palace looks like, the Guardian has some striking photos:

Thanks for asking! :)

Greetings Ms. Thomas. I'm a spy fiction enthusiast who just read your book. I loved it due to its unique feel, like a stylish Post 9/11 Alfred Hitchcock story on steroids. I also liked the character dynamics A question. Melek. A tough lady who has to be more cut throat than any man in the society she lives in. What concepts did you consider when developing her character?
