Goodreads asked Dan R. Arman:

How do you get inspired to write?

Dan R. Arman Really anything can inspire me. The inspiration for my Night Maiden series came during a trip to Paris, for instance. My wife and I had just come out of the Louvre and we were confronted by a massive golden statue of Joan of Arc on horseback just standing in the middle of the street. I stood staring at it for several minutes, thinking how a teenage girl had changed a country so much that reminders of her legacy still stand hundreds of years later. I remembered reading a picture book about her and I returned to the States to do more research about her and the times she lived in. That moment in Paris eventually became the instigation of the Night Maiden trilogy.
