Goodreads asked Maya Fisher:

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

Maya Fisher I'm a below-the-knee amputee. I'm also a transgender woman. I have a favorite hobby, and I always make up stories about how I lost my leg. My daughter asked me if I had ever made one up about losing it in a specific way, which I hadn't. The tale was so grand it spawned within minutes to require a much more compelling protagonist than I am. And Miriam Ryder was born.
