Emanuellen Trizi asked Vivienne Lorret:

Rydstrom Castle was inspired by some real castle?

Vivienne Lorret Emanuellen,

I apologize for taking so long in responding to this question.

In my research, I found period sketches of the southeastern shore of England and I wanted to put the perfect crumbling castle there. So I pieced together Rydstrom Hall from various castle ruins, old abbeys, the first college I attended (also a former abbey), and my own crumbling centenarian house.

I spent so many wonderful hours imagining and writing about Rydstrom Hall that I feel as if I lived there. I hope the story did the same for you. <3

Thank you for your thoughtful question!

Warm wishes and happy reading,
Viv
