My mother actually inspired it! She ended up having this crazy dream about a serial killer group who owned a hotel and I took that idea and made a story out of it.
In her dream, well really more like a nightmare, she had traveled and checked in at a hotel where serial killers were killing everyone who entered without cause. She told me of this dream years ago and it stuck with me.
I ended up creating the Dawson family who are the main characters in 'Beyond the Palms' and making them relatable to the reader. My goal was to make you care about what happens to them as they went on this family vacation that at first seemed innocent, and then turns into a battle of life or death as they figure out what the hotel they are staying at really is. I guess I should say, who really owns it and what happens there. As they put the pieces together it becomes a apparent that they need to get out but it might be too late for that to happen.
