Goodreads asked Amanda Saint:

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

Amanda Saint As If I Were A River came about when I kept hearing stories in the news about people going missing. Then I saw a documentary programme about missing people and there was a woman on there telling the story of how her husband went out with his friends one night, called her to tell he was on the way home at the end of the night but never arrived. He was never seen or heard from again. So I started to wonder how you would deal with that if it happened to you. That's the story I'm telling about Kate in this book - how she reacts when it happens to her.
