The Shamshine Blind

The setting feels so immersive and layered — I wonder if the author based it on real places or crafted it entirely from imagination. How did the world evolve during writing?

Their perception shifts so much, it made me question what was real and what was manipulation. Was this intentional to mirror the themes of deception?

The pacing of revelations kept me hooked, but I’m curious about the process behind timing these moments. Was it planned or did it develop during drafts?
