Goodreads asked Angela Stevens:

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

Angela Stevens The Wolf You Feed sort of just happened. I'd finished my Romance and was at a loss as to where to go next. I wasn't sure if I wanted to write another romance story straight away. On a whim I decide to experiment with some fantasy ideas. I wrote a chapter without really knowing where it was heading. In fact I thought it was going to go in a completely opposite direction. After stumbling around experimenting with voice, a few characters started to emerge that I really liked and just knew I wanted to develop into a full story.

I had a dream a few days later that was really vivid and the next day I spent scribbling. I just let all my thoughts pour out of my pen and they began to take shape. Copious amounts of notes later, I found something emerging and got excited by the prospect of these hybrid human species living within the human world.

It took off from there. The first draft was a complete mess and had so many story themes it was about ten books in one. For months I excavated it until I found the real story I had to tell.
