Goodreads asked Chris Ord:

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

Chris Ord Ideas are everything in writing. I think all writers are always on the lookout for the next great idea. I'm always jotting things down. They may be random thoughts, something I hear or read, a line from a song that inspires a story. Ideas can come from anywhere.

The book I have just finished is inspired by a true event. It's quite a well known story locally. It struck me that it would make the basis of a great novel, but it wasn't enough in itself. I had another idea of a fairy story based on a local folk tale. I decided to merge the two and create something darker and more mysterious.
