Popular Answered Questions

I'm interested in writing books. However, I started writing my first story in 2022 but eventually put it down. I've read two of your amazing books: What Lies In The Woods and NO ONE CAN KNOW, and I must say I had goosebumps reading to the end. What inspired you first to start writing? And what was that journey like? I would love to hear from you, it might give me motivation as well, haha.

We were a very book-centric family, and did family reading and told stories around the dinner table every night from a very early age, and I couldn't imagine making my life about anything else. I started getting serious about publication when I was a teenager, submitting short stories and writing my first novel in the back of class instead of paying attention (not recommended). I didn't start having much success, though, until I was in my 20s, which I credit in part to starting to read more widely and critically, and experiment with new forms and genres. The most valuable thing I did was keep pushing myself and to always be working on a new thing, so I didn't get stuck on any one failure.

There's so much more to say, of course, but I hope that helps!(less)

For Daphne, I think her story is done--she exists in a particular context and conflict, and her story (or my part in it) is concluded. I generally don't like to pick characters back up once I've gotten them where I think they ought to be. But I would love to write a character who is like Daphne as the primary perspective in a novel--someone with a very strong and unusual point of view on the world, and a unique way of going about her goals, shall we say.(less)

Kate, Loving the audio version of What Lies in the Woods. I grew up in a small town between Olympia and Aberdeen. Is Chester based on a real Washington town? Can you share which one? You did a fantastic job with setting and characters!
Kate Alice Marshall
Chester isn't based on a specific town, but is more of an amalgam of several with a dash of "just because." I'm glad to hear it felt convincing to a true local!
