Goodreads asked E. Elizabeth Watson:

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

E. Elizabeth Watson Quite frequently, I start with an idea that has been forming in my mind for months, and as I write, new ideas evolve. When new ideas help the plot, I incorporate them into my manuscript. My story ideas mainly spring from my imagination and experiences, though period music and imagery of historical gowns, architecture, and landscapes also help inspire.
