Goodreads asked E.L. Tenenbaum:

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

E.L. Tenenbaum Ideas come from so many different, sometime odd, places.
Thinking of what I've written so far, the range includes an idea that's just been sitting around for a while that had to come out, thinking of a phrase or title and creating a story around it, and randomly being struck by creative lighting one day while walking out of my house, among others.
Keep the mind open, and let it wander sometimes, too.
