Goodreads asked Mara A. Miller:

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

Mara A. Miller Weirdly enough, I have a neighbor gave me old love letters from a family member. The letters are from the Civil War area, and the people lived in the National Daniel Boone Forest. In Cheap Tricks, Sophie finds letters that are kind of like that, that her great great great something grandmother wrote to the man she was in love with. It influences the story and her relationship with Neal, but I'm not going to say how...just that I'm SUPER excited!
