Goodreads asked Cat Gilbert:

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

Cat Gilbert We live out in the country and the drive home from town is on a two-lane road with few passing zones and a lot of slow drivers. I am not the most patient person in the world and one day joked that I was going to make the pokey person driving in front of me turn right at the next intersection. How? "By mentally telling them to do it" I replied as I squinted my eyes and repeated 'turn, turn, turn' firmly. Well, to everyone's amusement, they did indeed turn and mentally 'willing' people to get out from in front of us became everyone's favorite thing to do.

Although I knew I had nothing to do with it, the idea got me thinking. What if there were people who had that ability? More importantly, if there were, would it be right for them to use it? Where would you draw the line? So there you have it. That's where the Taylor Morrison series was born.
