Mellors described herself as a "city person to my core," and said it was only natural to set her works in large, densely populated cities. In her first novel, a character-driven story on relationships and phases of life, Mellors focuses mostly on Downtown Manhattan, though the characters also spend time in New Jersey, Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
Mellors expresses, "There's just something about the sort of vibrancy and eclectic burst of cities. If you're interested in people, there's no better place to be than a city. You're in close proximity to others at all times." This sentiment captures her attraction to the urban environment that informs her writing.
For 'Blue Sisters,' I wanted to capture a postcard. There's often only one or two chapters in the first set of cities, which is London, Paris and Los Angeles. I wanted super sharp, saturated scenes to capture the essence of the city with little images." This approach reflects her intention to evoke vivid cityscapes within her narrative.
