Goodreads asked Nat Russo:

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

Nat Russo I rarely have a "book idea", per se. I get little snippets, or situations/scenes that I find interesting. Sometimes I get bits of dialogue that I really want to include somewhere. It's kind of like opening a box of jigsaw puzzle pieces. My ideas are those pieces, and it takes time for them to mature in my mind (sometimes years) before they reveal the entire picture they're a part of.
