Goodreads asked Cathy Cade:

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

Cathy Cade I had a short story longlisted in one year's National Literacy Trust short story competition. I had entered two versions of a new Cinderella story written from different viewpoints, so I wrote a third - the godmother's - and merged all three into The Godmother.
The Godmother was actually published before Pond People, but I'd been thinking about Pond People for longer (tiny people with gills that live in a fishpond) so it wasn't really the most recent idea.
