Question 3

Where did the inspiration come from?

Accepted Answer

So I have this funny little thing in my head called "Mal-adaptive Daydreaming." I come up with stories in my head and I play every character in whatever situation I'm in. It could be anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours of this fantasy existence and then I normally just stop. There have only been a handful of times where I continued at a different point in time where I continued the story. This was one of them. I remember imagining the setting and the set up, and after I while I decided to start jotting it down. Eventually it became a coherent start to a story! Been writing ever since.

What's the book about?

Unfortunately, it's the hidden gems that you have to protect the most.
