Goodreads asked B.E. Crittenden:

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

B.E. Crittenden My daughter Angel was the inspiration for Eriana. She was a very good girl when she was little, around the age of four. She picked up her room after being told playtime was over. She of course always pulled every single toy she had out of her toy box before playing. She also could not lie. She just would not do it, even if it meant she would be in trouble.

Torva was inspired by my cousin's daughter Lari, because I met her around that time. She was a tom boy and a very strong minded kid. She was about nine when together they inspired me to make up the story in my mind.

I used to tell Angel a very short version of it up to the age of eight. Sixteen years later I learned about self-publishing and started turning it into my book Avangar.
