Goodreads asked Anna J. Walner:

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

Anna J. Walner Garkain follows the story of Amelia on a quest to find her family after being adopted. I drew inspiration from my own story, being adopted as a baby myself. The only information I learned was that I had an Australian heritage. I decided to take that and run to the strangest places I could with it, and thus The Colony was born.
All adopted children wonder at some point if there's a magical or fantastic reason for why they were adopted. Finding so fantastic story of my own I wrote one!
