Goodreads asked Arlene James:

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

Arlene James One of my granddaughters came home from church camp this past summer troubled that some of the girls in her cabin had been playing around with a Ouija board. When a counselor found out, the board was confiscated, but my granddaughter was shocked that even the Christian girls involved did not know that such things are forbidden. Apparently, the local public high school has clubs/groups who are deeply into contacting spirits, which is a dangerous thing to do. That was the impetus for A FORBIDDEN LOVE SONG.
