Goodreads asked Ashley York:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ashley York I'm a romantic-books, movies, songs, and I love books that follow a single family which is why The Saxon Bride is the about the great, grandparents of the heroine in The Bruised Thistle. When I get an idea about a certain situation or type of character, I think about what would happen if such and such occurred. Then I make it even worse.

In The Gentle Knight, the heroine comes from Ireland and that required a bit of research. I knew the MacNaughton clan originally came from Ireland (that would be Iseabail, Iain, and Calum from The Bruised Thistle) so this would be the connection.
