Hello Shannon.
Film inspires me and I strive to capture a specific atmosphere on the page. Later, the story builds up around that atmosphere. Normally it turns out to be something blackly comedic. If I were to choose a writer whose writing produces an atmosphere where I would love to wander, then Dickens. If you're looking for me in the after-life then you'll find me wandering one of the Victorian streets, watching one of his great stories unfold :)

Fellow author here, never reached out to another on Goodreads author, but your books look freaking awesome. Hoping to win one of your giveaways. So when you start a book, is it more just a tiny little idea that builds or is it a grand concept already that you then try to detail?

No need to respond. Just wanted to tell you I think it is really awesome that you are in touch with your readers and pay attention to their interests. Big part of the reason I followed you was because of your investment in your audience not just your fascinating story lines. Keep up the good work! Apparently I need a question mark?
