Goodreads asked Maria Johnson:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Maria Johnson I've had the idea for my novel, 'The Boy from the Snow' in my head since I was seven. My brother used to build things with Lego & I would take the little Lego people to my room to play with them & make up stories. My favourites were a soldier character & a king character and pretty soon my main characters and the basic plot was born. I began scribbling it down when I was a teenager and began writing it more seriously in my twenties.
