Goodreads asked Alyne Pustanio:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alyne Pustanio Folklore and legends are wound deeply in the history of my haunted hometown of New Orleans. The supernatural and unexplained thrives alongside the hectic pace of modern life in this old city, and the past is always waiting around the next corner or at the next doorstep. With icons such as the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, Madame Delphine Lalaurie, the original Dr. John, Bras Coupe the Zombie King, the Devil Baby, and Violette the Zombie Child peopling our legends, let's just say there is never any lack for inspiration. All these characters and many more are brought to vivid life in my Haunting Tales of Old New Orleans!
