Goodreads asked H.O. Ward:

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

H.O. Ward I was reading an article and looking at pictures of Venice and its blue water lagoon when the idea to write a fantasy story with adventurous characters such as Tallulah Pinkswan, Lark Tulip, Bonapart and Professor Wilks to mention but one or two. While everyone can picture Venice with its canals and architecture, that is as far as reality goes in the world of Venice Lagoon.
