Goodreads asked Ellie Beals:

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

Ellie Beals Sadly, the catalyzing incident for Emergence was a real event, and the book is (also a sad reflection on me, I suspect) a law-abiding response to my desire for revenge. I layered onto that a number of other themes I'd been playing with for years, and they evolved into Emergence.
