Goodreads asked Zanne Raby:

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

Zanne Raby For my current novel, Frozen in Time, I drew inspiration from my childhood dream of becoming an archaeologist. Although that goal was never achieved, I retained a life long love for history, especially prehistory. With the glaciers shrinking due to climate change, bodies are being released from the ice regularly. The idea for Frozen in Time was born. There will be a second book to follow that explores this in more detail.

Regarding my previous work - the series "The Chronicles of Deneb", the inspiration came from my career in the Air Force. I always wanted to write a book about space travel. My last posting had me employed on a base where the school on Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Warfare was taught. From speaking with an instructor there, I came up with the idea of a world fraught with a terrorist-created pandemic that led to the escape from our planet on a Space Ark.
