Goodreads asked Erma I Talamante:

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

Erma I Talamante I was on the phone with a friend, and talking about a different writing project, and all of a sudden, an incomplete idea popped into my head. It was fascinating, tantalizing, and we started brainstorming.

While I discarded many of his ideas, his suggestions got me thinking about who these people were, and how they got there... And what they were going to do.

While the original idea simply came to me, partially formed, the details came through research and brainstorming, a little at a time.
