Goodreads asked Marie Phillips:

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

Marie Phillips Ideas come from anywhere, they float through the air like pollen and can be similarly generative or irritating depending on where they land. The idea for the book I am working on came from a passing remark by a teacher in an Alexander technique workshop I was attending, which had nothing to do with Alexander technique, but somehow switched something on in my mind. There is no off switch for an idea, but sometimes there is a gradual winding down of energy, and then the idea dies. Not this time, I hope.
