Mark Meyer asked Sarah Mäkelä:

I would love to know what gives you inspiration? Your writing is conveyed to me as very natural, smooth flowing.

Sarah Mäkelä Thank you so much, Mark! :-) I'd have to say music inspires me the most. It helps me tap into emotions and set a vibe in my head. Sometimes I'll also hear a lyric that sparks a story idea, which is what happened with Cold Moon Rising (Rosemary by Deftones). Other songs gave me character insight into my heroine for Highland Moon Rising (Buddha For Mary by 30 Seconds to Mars). That last song is pretty dark, which fit well with the tone of the book.
