Goodreads asked Laurie Marr Wasmund:

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

Laurie Marr Wasmund The White Winter Trilogy grew out of my first novel, My Heart Lies Here. Although it does not have any repeat characters, I discovered when I researched the Ludlow Massacre and beyond that many of the "good guys" in the Colorado National Guard and Trinidad community were also "good guys" during the 1920s, when the KKK ruled Colorado. I kept reading and researching just to see whose name popped up again. I found my personal historical hero, Phillip Van Cise, through that research.
