Goodreads asked A.M. Dorhauer:

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

A.M. Dorhauer For Maple Street, I was actually inspired by my sister's Father's Day card. She wrote "Happy Father Day, Dad" and it made me think of how there really aren't two dads exactly alike- even the houses on the street were filled with people who have had experiences and stories that I wasn't aware of.
Then the wind happened to shift, making me think about trees of fire and pine logs burning under open skies, and thus the concept of a street filled with Halloween creatures was devised.
