Setting plays a vital role in my storytelling. I often choose historical events or periods that resonate with me, allowing the backdrop to influence the characters’ journeys. For instance, writing about the tumultuous years of the French Revolution provides a dramatic context for exploring themes of freedom, power, and sacrifice. By immersing readers in the sights, sounds, and emotions of the past, I hope to evoke a sense of connection to those who lived through those times.
