Goodreads asked Candi Silk:

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

Candi Silk Let’s include my two most recent books, Lust Driven, and Thrill Driven. Both are stand alone titles, but they involve the main character, Marla, who is discovering the deepest layers of her sexuality. The idea for both books came from two directions: (1) real life divorce rates (2) popular female fantasies. What brought those two components together were the questions I posed in planning both books: What does it take for a settled married woman to become lust driven, and how quickly for her to break-out of a conventional relationship into something totally different? (3) What could trigger that desire, and transition to explore the deepest layers of her sexuality? Formulating Marla’s story was interesting to write. Human behavior is “driven” by a mosaic of emotions or feelings.
