Goodreads asked Shelly M. Neinast:

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

Shelly M. Neinast I start The Curse of the Ruby Eyes, my first book from a previous book in which I completed but never published. I took parts of that one and added a different story line to make the Curse book. I will sometime add other information to make a new story from the original book. I started that first book The Rose Arbor back in 1998 and finished it in 2020. It seemed to lack something and didn't sound exciting enough to publish.
The first book was about a woman detective who time travels back to 1926 to try to stop her great-grandfather's murder and ends up becoming her great-grandmother in the process. Since I have used parts of this book in my present book The Curse of the Ruby Eyes, I will just change things add what is necessary to make it a new book. It is a good story line and want to publish it and hope to do so sometime in 2022.
