Where did you get the idea for your most... â€� Sarah Schmidt Q&A

Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ asked Sarah Schmidt:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Sarah Schmidt I met Lizzie Borden in a second hand bookstore when a pamphlet about the Borden case fell off a shelf and landed at my feet. I wasn't interested in the case whatsoever. I put it back and left the shop.
That night I dreamt of Lizzie sitting at the end of my bed and she told me, 'I have something to tell you about my father. He has a lot to answer for.'
It was one of the creepiest and most unsettling dreams I'd ever had but I ignored it, tried to go back to sleep.
I had the same dream every night for a week. So I decided to write the dream down hoping it would go away. That was the very beginning of See What I Have Done.
I had no idea it would take me 11 years to write it.
