Goodreads asked Michelle Y. Frost:

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

Michelle Y. Frost Emails to a friend. I had a cheerful and very inquisitive friend who kept asking me questions about my life. He kept saying, "This should be a book" and by the time I'd sent him 42 emails I realised he had a point!

So my recent biography, Elephant Songs, is built upon a foundation of 42 emails. Good number to build a book on. ;)
