Goodreads asked Tai Manivong:

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

Tai Manivong The idea for Crimson, came from a picture my best friend drew. It was of a scruffy dog by two baby dragons. I had been talking with her about wanting to write a book and when she showed me her drawing the idea came to life. The first draft only took me a month to write. That is how inspired I was with the idea. I was so excited to be creating this new world, with new species and an epic adventure. I used my own two dogs as more inspiration watching how they acted and incorporating their personalities in to the characters in the novel. Two years later, after several rounds of editing, revisions, heartache and frustration Crimson was finally finished. Now, I am working on book two.
