Why a small town in Oregon?
I grew up in Oregon, and love the area, so naturally I wanted to use it for murder. Also, when I was thinking about using a small, neighborly community, my first thought was Tillamook, Oregon where my grandparents live. Tillamook is a small coastal community and one of the most beautiful places on earth. They also make the best cheese in the world. So, that town became the model for Bakersville.
