Goodreads asked Cynthia Yoder:

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

Cynthia Yoder I met a woman named Nicole Loughan at a writer's conference who writes a mystery series. She encouraged me to revise my memoir, Crazy Quilt, and release it on Kindle. But when I went to revise it, I found myself wanting to write fictional scenes and spin off of it. So I went with it, and Mennonite on the Edge was born. If you put the two books side-by-side you can see how one would have definitely informed the other! I plan to go back and do the work of revising Crazy Quilt for re-release this year.
