Glass Dolls – The Inspiration.

There is always a starting point for a writer – a sudden idea that just hits you and won’t let go. Sometimes it’s a character, and sometimes a dream or an experience, or even something you’ve read in the newspaper.

For Glass Dolls, there were two ‘light bulb’ moments. Firstly, I was driving the kids to school, stopped at the traffic lights and noticed a pile of rubbish had been dumped at the side of the road. On top on the pile was a little rectangular glass or plastic box. It caught the sunlight as we drove off. It was empty, but very clean and shiny.

Secondly, I always need a strong lead character for any book, but for a series I think you need not only that character but a team, with layers and relatable lives – people who make good and bad decisions as we all do. I am lucky to have a brilliant friend, an ex Met DI, who helps me with police procedure. We like to meet up for coffee and chat and when I mentioned I was interested in police informants for the next book, he phoned a friend, *Alex who was an ex-source handler.

To get the facts right, I had to research what it was like as a female source handler. *Alex, was able to give me an insight into the depth of involvement, the fact that having that ‘extra phone’ takes over your life, and that living and working ‘on the edge’ means that for many source handlers burnout is a way of life.

DC. Dove Milson is a fictional character, but there is a lot of *Alex in her. Although I spend a huge amount of time making sure the facts I use in my books are correct, for the sake of the plot, and the fact this is fiction, sometimes I bend the rules slightly to move things along. My police consultant is also telling me if I put in all the real life meetings you would have on a murder case, it would be a pretty boring book, even if the case was intriguing!
