Goodreads asked Lee Savino:

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

Lee Savino The Roman myth of "The Rape of Proserpine", also known in the Greek as Persephone and Hades story has fascinated me for a long time. The ancient story was used to explain the seasons but I always wondered what things were like from Persephone's point of view. The way I retell it brings out the "coming of age" aspect of the myth; the passage from maiden to woman.
