Goodreads asked Roxy Matthews:

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

Roxy Matthews
Wow, that's a long story. I'll shorten it, for your reading pleasure. Numb was my latest release, however it initially started as my first book written after a four year hiatus. It turned into the second book in my Pale Bay series when Hawk and Randi's story blew up, took precedence. Randi is a tough cookie. I'm sure she would have never allowed herself to be second rate...not again.
The Gem story line that has began to overtake Pale Bay started with a piece only meant to bring trouble to Randi's life. I never expected to see it spread, to see the power this Gem had, or the story that would come from that. I do have to thank my ex-traditional publisher for that awakening in me and my writing.
The rest is a mix of a novel written for a contest, fates never connected, and a story so intricate that even the Gods themselves couldn't have foreseen.
And if they could...they sure as Hell could've helped me write them. ;)
