Goodreads asked Bailee Abbott:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Bailee Abbott The "where" in this question is definitely what inspired my Paint by Murder series. First, my visits to a local Painting with a Twist shop and the great experience partying with other mostly amateurs like me to paint pictures that turned out pretty good -- gave me the idea of what my main characters would do for a living. Second, the location in cozies is really important. I've made yearly visits to Bemus Point, NY along Chautauqua Lake. Such a quaint and picturesque town inspired the setting for my series.
