Goodreads asked Denise Thompson-Slaughter:

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

Denise Thompson-Slaughter By thinking about my belief systems and attitudes and realizing they were inconsistent with my own experiences. For instance, I had gone from being a "believer" to being an agnostic to being an atheist who thought she didn't believe in anything less solid than lunch. But I knew I also believed in ghosts and precognitive dreams because I'd experienced them. Well, there was obviously a logical inconsistency there. After I thought about it for awhile, I decided to make a list of all the evidence I personally had in my own life that something more than a material universe existed. And life was constantly revealing to me that there was something very funny about time. My list of anomalies got longer and longer. I originally thought it would be an essay, but I realized I had enough material to write a book instead, so I started researching what the latest scientific research was saying about these subjects. Not much of quantum physics had trickled down the the general public, and what had was in bits and pieces. I hope that I have done a service in synthesizing all this material for people who are interested in the topics in my book.
