Goodreads asked Bree Verity:

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

Bree Verity When I started to write The Quiet One, I had written a historical novel, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. So I went back to the basics, and to the piece of advice "Write what you know." I looked around me, and realised I'm quite familiar with this isolated, beautiful part of Western Australia. So I decided to write contemporary novels, set in my Perth - places I've been, stuff I've seen. So far, it seems to be working really well!
