I suppose I’m most like Iris, who’s quiet and studios and keeps her head down. What character in this novel do you most relate to and why? Those two elements really drew me in and I started to build the story and characters and world around them. I wanted to walk through one, but found myself afraid that if I did I might end up somewhere… else. They felt at once inviting and dangerous, like fairy circles. The story really started to percolate after I visited Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka and saw “ghost doors” scattered around the forest – ruins where every part of a structure had fallen away except the doorframe. The first spark came to me when I was out hiking with my sister and I thought, “What if I turned around right now and she was just gone?” If there was no sound, no struggle, no one else around – it was such a horrifying thought. House of Hollow came from a scrapbook of different ideas that eventually merged together.
