Goodreads asked Sylvia Beckett Davidson:

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

Sylvia Beckett Davidson My co-author contacted me about it knowing I was passionate about writing all sorts of things, especially mental health and the occult world. He was, and is, someone who watched me grow as a blogger and vlogger for some time. This was a nice surprise actually, having someone think positively about my writing and style. He and I also happen to be practitioners of alternative spiritual movements, and I jumped at the chance to write with him.

The occult is a subject most people don't know a great deal about, especially with the stereotypes that are well and truly glued to our persona, but for those who have found themselves to be creative will have these moments of self-questioning, a need for self-care, a need to question their existence within the universe, and most of the time we battle mental health issues. For my co-author and myself it was our individual experiences with spirituality that gave us good ground to understand our mental health challenges and work with them, in different ways, to make ourselves better, and find the confidence to seek professional and spiritual help. This book briefly maps how we did that, and why mental health is meant to be something everyone should be discussing.

If someone had told me that I would publish a book this soon I wouldn't have believed them. It's been an amazing process! I must hurry up with my fiction.
