Goodreads asked Mike Crowl:

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

Mike Crowl Right from the time we produced the musical version of Grimhilda! I'd thought it be fun to do a sequel. Originally there was an idea that this might be another musical but in the end it became a sequel to the book version of Grimhilda!. The characters I'd always thought of as having some value in the sequel were the Mumbersons, a grumpy pair who'd said their 'own son was as selfish as they were.' I wanted to explore what the relationship would be like when the Mumbersons finally returned home after twenty years...but then other aspects to the story got added in...
