Goodreads asked Cal Black:

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

Cal Black I watched the trailer for Godless on repeat my whole commute home, expecting to get this story about a town of scrappy ladies doing their best to hold off people who wanted to take advantage of them. And when I watched Godless, I got a show about a man and his flawed father figure.

I was disappointed and then realised sometimes you need to write your own story about scrappy ladies protecting their town and each other from outside threats. So I did.
