Goodreads asked Peter Topside:

How do you get inspired to write?

Peter Topside My inspiration for my Preternatural stories is a direct reflection of my very abusive upbringing. I spent the last 25 years working on these books, taking all of the feelings I went through, at various ages, and saw the others around me experience, and molded them into characters. At that point, the story wrote itself, and I just described how these types of people would engage one another and react to certain circumstances. It was a very emotional and taxing process, but is meant to inspire my audience in a myriad of ways, as well as myself, as I continue my journey to manage my PTSD.
