Goodreads asked Emily Roberson:

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

Emily Roberson The idea for LIFESTYLES OF GODS & MONSTERS surprised me. I was thinking about celebrity and how our reality TV stars are in some ways similar to the people in Greek myths, famous for being famous. And then I started wondering what it would be like if there had been paparazzi filming in those ancient stories. And the next thing you know, I had written the first chapter of LIFESTYLES. It took a while after that to figure out what the story was, but the seed of the idea was imagining those photographers in the trees, watching an ancient shocking story.
