Linda Judd asked Mark Shaw:

It's nice to meet you here on Goodreads, I have another friend who writes much the same way, it's all in his head until he starts to write. So if this is the case, how do you do research?

Mark Shaw I'm the same as well. I constantly envision scenes from the book, play out in my head, almost like a movie. For me the research comes while it's still in my head, because although it's fictional, i still wanna make sure whatever can be factual will be factual, where you have history tied into your story.
