There is something about an island that stirs the imagination, or, in any case, it seems to stir mine.

My new novel is set on a tidal island, Eris , located somewhere off the west coast of Scotland .

This fictional island of Eris is inhabited by Vanessa , an artist who has fled life in England in search of the space and silence to live as she pleases.

The Blue Hour by Paula Hawkins is published by Transworld at 22.70 .

The author is inspired by her own fictional island and the solitude it offers.

The fictional islands are rarely better, from Amity to my own Eris , they tend to be beautiful places where awful things befall inhabitants and visitors alike.
