Goodreads asked Felicity Price:

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

Felicity Price "Gone Tomorrow" is a sequel to two earlier bestsellers I wrote, published by Random House: "A Sandwich Short of a Picnic" and "Head Over Heels". All three are about the engagingly vulnerable Penny Rushmore, who is sandwiched between demanding teenagers, elderly frail parents, a demanding job, and a husband who decides to run off with the junior partner at his firm. Like the novels of Marian Keyes, it is at times funny and entertaining, at times a little dark and sad, as Penny deals with the issues that strike women of my age - from menopause, breast cancer, and euthanasia, to making the most of today and enjoying the company of your girlfriends, because it could all be gone tomorrow. In "Gone Tomorrow" Penny is a little older, post-menopausal, has a daughter who wants an impossibly big wedding while her son's adorable daughter goes missing in what looks like a custody dispute. While this fortunately hasn't happened to me, I do fear losing those dearest to me and this is what inspired me to write the next sequel, "Gone Tomorrow".
