@Guest333338 well for one, this is the first time someone has cared enough to actually talk to me about my novels, so thanks. As for your question... just a tiny bit. Like, minuscule amounts.
I always liked the general theme of summer camp and the plot points that could come from it. I draw inspiration from a lot of things. Take Eric, the extremely Australian Camp councillor. He beat the sh*t out of a bear in book three (which I’m still writing), and if you’ve played TF2, you’ll understand where my inspiration comes from.
This is an original series, but a little inspiration doesn’t hurt here and there. I hope that was a valid answer for you. :)
