Goodreads asked S.N. Liska:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

S.N. Liska Being your true self, but I actually already talk about it through my characters. For example, when girls are told they're not as strong as boys, we unconsciously assimilate it. It feels like something I always knew that was wrong because my parents never told me anything close to it. It's only out of home that people told me I couldn't do this or that as well as boys. Somehow, I believed them when I was younger. Then, I had to unlearn all of this and think back at how I thought about life before: I was the one climbing higher than boys, I was the one running faster than boys. It's only when I was told all these stereotypes again and again that I started to doubt about myself. Because it seemed that was 'normality' in our society. But society should be about diversity, not uniformity. And many many women have been through the same. We really need to get rid of gender clichés.
