Goodreads asked Kristina Smeriglio:

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

Kristina Smeriglio For my first novel, Falling Into Fire, with one of its chapters most recently featured in Caffeine & Ink's first anthology, I was inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's painting The Garden of Earthly Delights. The story came to me while working on my Master's in Writing at Nova Southeastern University. In short, the messages being conveyed to me through the painting, caused me to take a critical look at myself and my experiences. It was those experiences and lessons that were then put into words.
