Goodreads asked Loren Greene:

How do you get inspired to write?

Loren Greene Travel! My favourite thing to write is a story rooted in a real place. I love getting the details just so, and hoping the reader can imagine themselves in that place. It's important, I think, to also capture those smaller details for readers who are still years away, so that they can be appropriately immersed in the time period/place of the story, even after the world keeps changing.

When I was quite young, I read a series of books set in Toronto in the 1930s ( That Scatterbrain Booky ) and it greatly influenced this quirk of my writing style. I want to write stories with locations as vibrantly presented as Booky's Toronto was.
