Goodreads asked Thea Barale:

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

Thea Barale SAIDE is not a new idea, it's more like a kid who grew up and became mature. I'd been writing that book since I was fifteen, and I went through a few drafts, ended the entire saga twice and decided to rewrite it.
The idea just came one day. Most of my ideas come just like that, I look at a picture of a landscape, imagine what could happen there, and voilà, a new baby is born. Which is exactly what happened when Hallie was born inside my head.
