Goodreads asked Jessica A. Tanner:

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

Jessica A. Tanner SONJI was inspired by a dream – a single scene featuring a pair of desert dwellers, a girl and a boy. They were peering over the top of a sand dune at an oasis occupied by a small caravan. The girl pointed to a white horse tied with several others, and the boy pulled something small, almost bird like from his pocket. I asked questions and followed these characters to find out why the white horse was so important.
