What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The inspiration for this new series came from looking up into the night sky and wondering what role we might play in reaching out to break the seemingly eternal silence. It was also inspired by the wave of technology that is currently guiding us into realms that we may not be prepared for, and what represents the most important aspects of the human soul that must be carried forward and protected in the future.
In a world that seems to be racing towards uncertainty, I wanted to explore the unique tragedy that is human life using tools such as religion, scientific research, spirituality and social structures, and bring to life the importance of questioning our purpose here on Earth. Of course, I also wanted to create a thrilling and action packed mystery to keep book lovers turning the pages at night!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The Spider Thief started out as just one novella, but I was so intrigued by the characters and the premise that I realized there was a much bigger and more exciting story I wanted to tell.
Each episode has a different story arc. One takes place in the Rocky Mountains, another one explores a creepy abandoned factory, there’s one in a ghost town, and so on. But they all have the same ongoing characters, and each one builds on what came before to create a bigger story that reveals darker secrets and deeper mysteries as you go.
I like to warn people that each episode ends with a cliffhanger. So chances are, if you read the first episode — which you can get free on my website, LaurenceMacNaughton.com — you’re going to want to read the rest.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse…
Based on a true story
A short story about a young man who thought his 15-mile journey across London late one night could not possibly get any worse – talk about Murphy’s Law on steroids. When he eventually does reach his house, things get worse; much worse.
What makes Bad Night even more interesting is the fact that it is based on a true story. This actually happened to a friend of mine several years ago. We’ve all heard somebody recount something bizarre, unusual or just plain outrageous, that happened to them, or somebody they know, and you probably thought to yourself, ‘you couldn’t make it up.’ Well, in this case I didn’t have to as it really happened. Naturally I’ve changed the names of the two characters in the story to protect their identity.
