Goodreads asked Madeline Iva:

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

Madeline Iva The problem is not ideas--the problem is too many ideas. I 'cheat' on the book I'm writing now with about five other book ideas calling to me. Usually people doing something perverse and wrong...but interesting is what gets my imagination percolating. The idea for Sexsomnia just came from that one word. I think that was the first time ever that the title and subject matter came to me before the characters and their initial situation. Usually it's the characters or a twisty moment that comes first. Then the sex. Then the rest....
