Goodreads asked Janet B. Taylor:

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

Janet B. Taylor I was telling my (then 7-yr old) niece a story. And she said "Aunt Janet, that would be a good book.
From there, I started thinking "Hmm.. If I had the power to go anywhere, do anything, what would it be".
For me, the answer was easy. I'd always wanted to have the ability to travel through time, to visit worlds that are lost forever.
I've always loved history. And I've had a major girl-crush on the fantastic, fascinating Eleanor of Aquitaine for YEARS. So...that's where I decided to send my time travelers first. To the brutal world of medieval England.
