Goodreads asked Lyra Selene:

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

Lyra Selene AMBER & DUSK was inspired by a winter flight from Germany to the US. The flight departed in the late afternoon, about an hour before the sun set. As we flew westward across a ruffled tundra of pale clouds, the red sun seemed to hang motionless, bathing us in copper and gold for the duration of the eight hour flight. And in that seemingly endless dusk, I dreamed of a world where the sun truly never set. And so the shadowy Dusklands and sun-scorched Amber Empire were born.
