Goodreads asked Marja McGraw:

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

Marja McGraw I'm not sure if you mean Choosing One Moment or Having a Great Crime - Wish You Were Here.

Choosing One Moment came about because I'd always wanted to try a time travel book, but it ended up being more about the mystery than time travel. I prefer the past to the future, so 1909 it was. : )

As for Having a Great Crime - Wish You Were Here, I live in a small, quaint town and the location actually inspired the story. It's a cold case, and I prefer to have the crime take place "off screen", so to speak. Several of my books are about old crimes.

That's the short version. : )
