Goodreads asked Cynthia Mock Burroughs:

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

Cynthia Mock Burroughs First, let me tell you a little about "Remember Della". The story surrounds Kat, a sixteen-year-old girl growing up in the mid-fifties, who begins to have increasingly disturbing dreams about a yellow scarf. These dreams escalate into nightmares, which Kat tries to escape by avoiding sleep.

I, having been a young girl in the fifties, have a particular fondness for that era, and like Kat I do not require a lot of sleep . . . and maybe I've had a precognitive dream or two in my lifetime.

They say to write about what you know!
