Which took shape first: plot, character, or setting?

With a little help by Rod Serling, I write my own version of a doll that takes on life and causes mayhem.

What attracts you to this book’s genre?

I love mystery mixed with the occult and frankly, the impossible. Or is it impossible?

What was the biggest challenge this book presented? What about the biggest opportunity?

Trying to make my book entirely my own. I wanted to follow the idea of The Twilight Zone but completely incorporate my own ideas and story.
