Having recently set her novel The Last House On Needless Street in the lush greenery that is the Pacific Northwest, writer Catriona Ward is going somewhere very different for her new thriller Sundial (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook). In the following email interview, Ward discusses what inspired and influenced this somewhat fuzzy tale.
As a lonely man who lives alone, I am acutely aware of how some people might suspect the worst of me, and do what I can to not arouse their suspicions, lest they find out what I’m really up to…
It also makes me interested in stories about loners and the people who wonder if they’re up to no good, like the main character in Catriona Ward’s Gothic horror thriller The Last House On Needless Street (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook).
In the following email interview, Ward talks about what inspired and influenced this scary story, as well as why she thinks I should get a cat.
