What inspired me to write my book
Everything I see, feel, taste, hear and smell inspires me. I’m particularly “susceptible” to light and music. However, the decisive impulse for writing THE CONCEALED was somewhat sadder.
I was at a funeral, it was November and bitterly cold. The graveyard was on a hill I climbed with many other mourners. As I looked around and watched the events, I suddenly had the first lines in my head. At first I wasn’t able to do much with it – I’d never intended to write a book – but the words burned in my thoughts and didn’t let go of me even days later. So I wrote them down to get them out of my head.
A few words became a page, a page became two, then five, then ten and so on without me knowing where it all would lead to or what would happen to the story.
A few days later, during the half-hour drive from work to home, I put on a CD that my husband had given me not very long before. It was classical music with piano pieces by different composers.
That same day I heard Le Onde by Einaudi for the first of many, many times and even after the first few notes, the story began to compose itself before my inner eye. All I had to do was write it down. And so I wrote. The whole night and many nights after.
