Goodreads asked Paul Trembling:

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

Paul Trembling My most recent novel, Local Artist, is currently with the publisher. It follows on from Local Poet, published 2016, but uses one of the minor characters from that book and makes them the main character. I used that approach to give it a fresh point of view whilst still maintaining continuity.

I also wanted to show some continuity of theme, so from Local Poet it was a fairly obvious move to Local Artist. The story comes out of the main character's job as a Librarian. It starts with an Art Exhibition being held at the Library - and the discovery of a body.

Yes, I know, a body in the Library sounds like a cliche! But this isn't Cluedo, I promise.
