Goodreads asked Chris Conrad:

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

Chris Conrad Twisted Leaves is set in a real location, Sequoyah's Cabin historical site in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma where I live. With no story idea to begin with I simply spent a day walking the site making notes and taking pictures. The layout of the park itself and historical info gave me everything needed to formulate a story. First I decided to come up with something that seemed impossible, sort of a classic locked room scenario. Then I treated it like a magic trick. Since even I didn't know how it could be done, I worked through it step by step through the characters until the mystery was solved.
