How did you come up with the idea for the keeper of the lost city series? It is so amazing can't wait for the next book!!
Shannon Messenger
Aw, thank you! I can't wait for you to read the next book, too! :)
And like I've said in other answers, I got the idea for KEEPER from a bunch of different places. I've always called the series "Lord of the Rings meets X-Men" since a lot of the basic elements started with those two things. But all the details of the world and the plot and the characters came from the two years I spent brainstorming the series, and during that time I found inspiration pretty much everywhere. Ideas are all around us. A writer's job is to be observant and find ways to use them. :)
