Goodreads asked Barbara Briggs Ward:

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

Barbara Briggs Ward I was exhibiting at a Christmas Festival selling my other books. Sitting there, I happened to turn around and noticed a little old lady-also exhibiting-sitting there knitting little snowmen. There was something about her-the way her hair was falling out of a bun sitting on top of her head and her wrinkled hands moving those needles so beautifully. I sat and watched her and from somewhere came three words I knew was the title of the next book in what is a Christmas trilogy. Those 3 words were, "The Snowman Maker." I didn't know what the story was about until I started writing-and once I started I could not stop.
