Goodreads asked Alma Anonas-Carpio:

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

Alma Anonas-Carpio I was working on a tight set of deadlines and, as a result, forgot most of the meals I should have consumed, was extremely sleep-deprived and almost delirious with all that. Then the idea for a book using the creatures of Philippine mythos and lore hit me and I wrote it down on scraps of scratch paper at 3 am when I should really have been doing that news analysis report on some newly-passed law or the other I was assigned by my editor in chief.

I think I still have that scrap of paper under my keyboard somewhere. It may have lots of other totally unrelated stuff written in between the lines, too.
