Caryn asked Simone St. James:

"The Haunting of Maddie Claire" was the book that first ensnared me and I have loved everyone you've written that I have read since! Do you find that writing about a place that you don't live it in creates a bigger need for historical research? If so, how much research do you do on average before each book?

Simone St. James I do several months of research for each book. I tend to do research and put together the story idea at the same time, so by the time I start writing, I have a really good idea of what the book is going to be :)
