Goodreads asked E.A. Copen:

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

E.A. Copen I participated in the International 3 Day Novel Writing Contest back in 2009. When I started, I had only a vague idea. I had just re-read Dracula and I was wondering how Van Hellsing knew so much about vampires. My very first draft was meant to answer that question. It was terrible and I didn't win the contest but I did wind up with this 7 years later. I'd call that a sort of win.
