Goodreads asked Cheryl R. Cowtan:

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

Cheryl R. Cowtan My most recent manuscript, The Fergus She, is the result of reading a number of vampire texts and realizing that the vampire experience almost always occurs from an outside catalyst (outside of the victim's body). Then I thought, imagine if the protagonist was dragging a V around on the inside, only didn't know it. And imagine if the protagonist thought this inner demon was mental illness. And imagine if I added a sexy highlander like Jamie from "Outlander", and then of course, I'd have to have him betray my protagonist, because love hurts. Sucks, really. SO, the highlander would resurrect the inner "she-V" and my protagonist would lose control over her life. How horrible for my protagonist, Rachel, UNLESS that resurrection occurred through the best sex ever, and it was worth being possessed by the she, to be with the highlander. Well, you can see how my ideas start and where they end up. I do have to say that my Scottish hottie is almost as good as Diane Gabaldon's Jamie. Almost. And my protagonist Rachel? She just rocks like the 80s! And the She? Well, I nicknamed her Scarlett. Imagine a spoiled, petulant O'Hara with fangs.
Wait! You don't have to imagine.
