Goodreads asked J.R. Manawa:

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

J.R. Manawa Emmeline was born out of a writing challenge similar to NaNoWriMo, where I was challenged to write about a different topic every day for 31 days. I asked my readers to give me topics to write about, but to make it even more of a challenge I then decided to see where the topics took me, and if I could tell a story from the trail of topics I was given.

I also love London, and I love graveyards, mythology and fantasy, which made it easy to set the scene for Emmeline's story.
