Goodreads asked Fern F. Musselwhite:

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

Fern F. Musselwhite We have a small boat, and we were out for a ride one morning. The sun was glistening off the wake, and it reminded me of diamonds. I thought, "I wonder if a female fishing guide would think that?" I went home and typed up some notes, then put it away. I came back to my notes many months later, wrote a few pages, put it away again. Eventually I came back to it and wrote the first draft, but my initial idea was just that simple: "Would a female fishing guide see diamonds in that wake?"
