Goodreads asked Jacob Ian DeCoursey:

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

Jacob Ian DeCoursey For VIVID GREENE, if you're talking about the title story, I touch on this in the book's afterword. But Really I just sat down and wrote the first few lines and got inspired by the scene I had painted. Then I came up with the situation "what if unmarried women started birthing monster babies in a conservative Southern town?" with the added question of "and what if the townsfolk treated the occurrence as normal, more an annoyance than something horrific?" I didn't necessarily know how I would tackle those questions, but I knew it would lead to some very weird results.
