Goodreads asked Jocelyn Adams:

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

Jocelyn Adams I've always been fascinated with ancient cultures and the wonder if we are alone in the universe. How did people build the pyramids with no modern technology? What the heck is Stonehenge for other than a hot topic for scientists? Why did the Mayan culture really pull a Houdini and disappear? And how can the universe be so ginormous, yet we’re the only life in it? No way. There had to be more than just us. Right?
Being the dreamer I am, my imagination went to work, spinning possible answers to the roughly one gazillion questions in my mind. For years I tried to accept that there may never be any answers, or at least not in my lifetime. And didn't that just suck for someone like me who just needs to know how everything works and why.
It wasn't until last year that I thought about the nights I crawled out the bathroom window onto the roof at the farm where I grew up to stare at the stars, and sometimes the northern lights, and dream about what was out there. With my laptop open, I stared at a blank document and wondered…why couldn't I make my own world to explore the possibilities like my favorite childhood books by Enid Blyton? My other worlds wouldn't be at the top of a tree, but through reality’s veil. All I needed was a sassy, quirky heroine and her gorgeous, reluctant hero to discover what was out there. And what might come through that veil in search of us.
And so, Darkside Sun was born.
