I often wonder where authors get their ideas for stories. Today, I am going to tell you where my story ideas came from.
I love watching Ghost Hunters, the Dead Files and Long Island Medium. While watching Ghost Hunters one evening I started thinking about how a romance could be woven into a story about a Ghost Hunter. I knew I wanted it set in Bend, OR. I like all the different coffee houses in town, so I had to include one, Backporch Coffee Roasters.
I researched unexplained happenings in Bend, OR. I found some documented haunted buildings and even a grave yard that has unexplained blue orbs. These facts were added into my story for local flavor.
It was interesting coming up with these ideas and doing the research.
What interesting facts have you found about your town?
