Goodreads asked Diane Rapp:

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

Diane Rapp My latest book DRAGON KNIGHT came about when I started wondering how a dragon would feel if he were turned into a knight. I also promised to write something for my granddaughter, so I put in a young sorceress who didn't study her spells but needed to do magic to save the kingdom. The idea of the dead musicians being forced to sing for the demon popped into my head and Jimmy Buffett is one of my favorite singers. I wanted the story to have funny elements. Mix them all together and you get a fairy tale that adults might enjoy reading to kids.
