Goodreads asked Mera Akiana:

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

Mera Akiana I had the epiphany that I could write a book of my own while in my hammock at dusk one fair December night. :D Bond and Song then arose first around the themes, around the ideas about the truth and beauty of life that make my spine shiver, and that I wanted to express and evoke for the reader. Much of it is inspired by my own life experiences...or in a beautiful literary reverse, I would go on to experience what I had dreamed up in my writing.
