Goodreads asked Chip Wagar:

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

Chip Wagar This book had its origins in my first book, An American in Vienna that took place in the twilight of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire and included the province of Transylvania. The history of Transylvania is so unique and fascinating that I thought a book about its most famous citizen would be a great way to explore and share my own fascination and discoveries about it and why it was such a great choice for Bram Stoker's vampire novel, Dracula.
