Goodreads asked Shannon A. Thompson:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Shannon A. Thompson Well, seeing as I am a writer, it's rather obvious to state that my favorite part is writing, but aside from the cliche answer, I love meeting readers and discussing stories with them. Focusing on the writing aspect, however, I would say the best part is when I am researching. I strive to use new legends and new creatures in my novels, but in reality, I'm using old - very old - tales and myths and legends that don't get the spotlight as often. The more legends I read, the more inspired I get to incorporate unusual and rarely seen legends into my work. I wish we had more variety in paranormal literature, so I'm attempting to add to that selection - both for readers and for myths that I do not want to see forgotten.
