As the school year winds down, I’m gearing
up for a writing summer.
Part of that pre-writing preparation
involves finding photos that inspire me. For my next supernatural mystery, Eye of the Peacock, I am lucky enough to
have photographed the location that provides the most inspiration for the
story. But I also scan the internet for people, scenery, and historical events
that help keep my descriptions focused and help me imagine the story.
Sometimes I drop these photos right at the
top of my page as I write, and then remove them later. In Relic, some of the photos even made it into the book as chapter
illustrations.
I’m even collecting photos for my next
project, yet untitled, but planned to be a futuristic adventure.
