Goodreads asked Linda Holeman:

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

Linda Holeman I was traveling in the Algarve in Portugal, and stood on a cliff at Cabo de Sao Vicente. It's the most southwestern point of Europe, and was known as "the end of the world" by sailors leaving Portugal in the 17th and 18th centuries. I found it highly evocative, standing on that windy, salt-sprayed cliff with the huge expanse of sea and sky before me, and I started to envision one young sailor setting out. The story did not end up being about that sailor, but I needed the vision to begin The Devil on Her Tongue.
