I also wanted it to take place in one city, because my previous novel was an epic fantasy with multiple POVs that played out on a much bigger global scale. As I mentioned earlier, I basically went in blind when writing The Crew. That one was outlined from beginning to end, and I spent months preparing everything (the world, characters, plot etc) before I typed the first word.

The main inspiration for The Crew really stems from me trying to write something completely different from the first novel I ever wrote. Talking about The Crew, what was the main inspiration for the story? Which aspect of the book was the most challenging to write and why? *underlines her previous note about Australia and the water* What’s with water wildlife and you? Geez. I think it was a species called Blue Bottles or something. Yeah, I also had an incident with jellyfish over there. *makes notes to never visit Australia, or at least not to go in the water while there* Anyhow, that’s Australia for you! Yikes! Why am I not surprised it was in Australia? Typical. As I got back on the shore, ink was leaking out from the small holes in my leg where the tentacles had attached themselves.

I started punching it (obviously) and things got pretty gory as you can imagine. I look down and see an octopus has wrapped itself around it. Sounds like a wild experience O.oĭefinitely a wild experience! I was just swimming in the ocean when I suddenly felt my leg starting to burn. Hi Timy! You have a fire AND you get a beverage of your choice here? This isn’t too shabby for an asylum I have to say! Hmm… I was once attacked by an octopus and had to kill it with my own two hands.
