Twilight was one of my inspirations for the Doon series! I read it after I’d finished writing my first adult novel. I was looking for a light read and didn’t expect to find inspiration. The first page hooked me as I found all of my own insecurities and longings for adventure in Bella. I finished the first book in two days and drove to the bookstore to buy the second one. By the end of New Moon, I knew the story that had been brewing in my brain since I was 16, a retelling of the Scottish musical Brigadoon, needed to be told from a teen perspective, just as I’d experienced it myself.
It always brings a smile to my face when Doon readers declare themselves "Team Jamie" or "Team Duncan," because all the props for that go to Twilight!
