Sandy asked Dale Wiley:

Being from Missouri, what inspired you to write Southern Gothic a story about GA haunts/myths/legends?

Dale Wiley That's a good question. My mom is from Georgia, and I have family down there whom I'm very close with. The idea to write this book came in a single moment - when I was with my kids coming back from vacation, looking out the window at an old-style lamp that reminded me so much of Savannah - and the whole idea was set in a matter of minutes. But I've spent a lot of time down there, and maybe that distance made it a fun escape. My next novel - The Jefferson Bible - will be set in Missouri.
