Al asked Amy Spector:

Is it true your new Halloween book is based on personal experience ?

Amy Spector Oh goodness, yes. How could I possibly write about something I have yet to experience myself?

Authenticity is very important to any writer. I find it best to write about things you have first-hand knowledge of or, at the very least, try my hand at it during the writing process.

The record feature on a smartphone is a lovely tool. It allows you to go back and listen to every gasp of horror, scream and swear. It makes it easier to get those new experiences down on paper.
