Goodreads asked Gail Priest:

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

Gail Priest The entire Annie Crow Knoll series was inspired by a location on the Chesapeake Bay that is near and dear to my heart. Fifteen years ago, my husband and I began renting a cottage in a community of cottages nestled on the Sassafras River at the headwaters of the bay. That first summer, scenes from second book in the series began coming to me. At the time, I didn't know that it would be a trilogy. The natural beauty, the history, the artists, the cottagers, the town, the birds, and the activities people pursue there all contributed to my fictional ideas.
