Goodreads asked R.G. Green:

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

R.G. Green This is such a good question, and the answer is and always has been - real life! Not so much big events, but personal ones. The little things. The town of Miller's Creek (in the book of the same name) is actually based on my hometown, right down to the corner diner and the old farmers at the center booth. That blurb from the book of poisons Kherin reads in And So It Begins is based on an actual entry I found in a real book of poisons I happened to come across that looked interesting. As far as the storylines themselves - honestly, it's just what grows from the seed. Start anywhere, with any little situation that comes to mind and then see where you can go from there. This pretty much means the plotlines are built as the story is being written, but it's a fun way to write. Real life just provides the perfect starting points.
