Goodreads asked M.A. Savino:

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

M.A. Savino Depends on which book you are talking about. If you are talking about book two of the Sidero series, The Carpenter’s Chameleon, the psycho local aspect comes from my tendency to mirror behavior of those around me which, I didn’t know until recently was an actual disorder. If I’m around criminals I become one, if I’m dressed up a certain way it effects how I act and behave. Now, if we are talking about the book, The Unnerving, the book is based partly on truth as everything I wrote does. When I was in high school, I did in fact date a boy from the other side of the tracks, he did get me a note with cigarette burns in it when we broke up and he did get killed a few years later.
