Goodreads asked A.A. Lewis:

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

A.A. Lewis With The 716 series being my first published books, it was a story that I’ve wanted to tell now for 20 years. I was so scared to just be free to write about something that could be so real. So the genre chose me. The series was inspired by the music I listened to growing up. It was the ‘90’s and hip hop and R&B were in full swing. It was so raw and diverse. The music always told a story. The beats and lyrics would grab hold of you and make you feel some kinda way. Every song had a memory attached to it. And out of all the music and the characters I had created in my mind, this series was born.
