In what way do you do your research for your books? Like facts, maybe name searching and such.

Hello Kamille
I start with the names of the characters first. I like interesting names or names that appeal to me. I tend to stay away from the more common names due to overuse in stories.
As for cities, I use areas that I'm familiar with or have visited. Once I have a feeling for the location and character, then I do a bit of internet searching to give some credibility to the character's backgrounds. I've also conducted a few interviews from qualified individuals when I can't find the answers I'm looking for or am confused with terminology.
Thank you so much for your question!
