Goodreads asked Layla Nash:

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

Layla Nash Ooooh. I have a book with my editor that I'll hopefully have out in a month that's about a cryptozoologist hunting cryptids in the mountains and searching for her missing brother. She stumbles across werewolves and a vampire, and things go downhill from there. Poor, poor Ada. Things go so wrong. I love it! :D

How I got the idea... I'm a total night owl and naturally revert to staying up all night given the opportunity to sleep past 9 each morning, so after having four days off my day job, I found myself watching TV around two in the morning and happened across some of the 'searching for Bigfoot' shows. The whole thing is fascinating -- the intensity of belief, the dedication to finding evidence, creativity, trying to apply different scientific disciplines... wow. So I wondered what would happen if they found something they really didn't expect: instead of Bigfoot, a vampire. Instead of a Snarly Yow, some werewolves. And things kinda built from there.
