The Lighthouse on Plum Island

The coastal landscape feels so vivid and atmospheric. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or crafted it from imagination, and how that influenced the story.

The revelations added so much depth, but also made me wonder how much the author planned in advance versus discovering the story as they wrote.

It felt like both elements were equally important, which made the story feel rich and layered. I'm curious about the creative choices behind this blend.
