Setting of the Novel. This largely takes place inside a Girl Guide Hall. 

I drew on several visits to the South West, in particular Collie. The Girl Guide Hall is real, having stayed there, is owned by a friend, and that has since been renovated. Also In 2009, I read a novel by Honey Brown titled Red Queen about a futuristic killer virus, so this author inspired me to speculate a future on asbestos and to write the premise of “what if?”
