Sarah K asked Lisa McMann:

Hi Lisa, I just finished your book "Wake" and as I was reading, I thought to myself, how did this author get the idea to write this book? So my questions is, How did you come up with ideas on the details and plot of the story? Also, how do you write your stories, do you write them from the last chapter to the first, or first to the last?

Lisa McMann I got my idea for the WAKE trilogy from a dream! (Isn't that funny?)

I write my books from the first chapter to the last, but I always know how things are going to end, so that helps me steer the story so it doesn't go off track.

I read some of the Unwanteds book when I was younger and tried Going Wild, the writing styles are quite different I found. But I would like to know is there anything we can look forward to in the future after Unwanteds Quest?
