Goodreads asked Cat Williams:

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

Cat Williams TIAF was the brainchild of a wonderful group of teenagers in the 1980's. I am still chosen family with them all. We all had characters, uniforms, and stories that we made up. It was originally supposed to be a comic book. Remember, this was the 1980's.

Fast forward 30+ years and I was talking with my hubby and our friend, Brian (one of the original TIAF crew) and I asked them "Would you be upset if I wrote Unit Zodiac as a novel?" They loved the idea - but, rightfully told me to ask the others if they would mind. I got a resounding "WRITE THE BOOK!" - and told that I could use character names and concepts as I chose.

Some of the Character names have changed (not all of them) and a lot of the original concept definitely changed (the characters are more realistic now, more human, more relatable, and more adult) - but the heart is still there and the sense of fun and adventure.
