Goodreads asked J.R. Wirth:

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

J.R. Wirth "The Town Beneath the Christmas Tree" was created, one late November, when my granddaughter Hailey (also the star), complained that I hadn't created a story staring the grandchildren, I had one with their parents aunts and uncles. That story is part of the anthology: "Lost Tales from the Mountain: A Halloween Anthology, Volume II" (Mountain Springs House Publishing). I looked at the Christmas tree, and then the town beneath it, complete with a functional train, and knew that the grandchildren would be transported there.
