Goodreads asked Keith Wayne McCoy:

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

Keith Wayne McCoy I read an article about the actress Kate Jackson who is 67 and inspired the physical attributes of the mistress of Wellsington in my novel. What if...What if... an author must constantly ask themselves. I wondered "What if a very young man found himself attracted to and even falling in love with a woman easily old enough to be his mother?" Quickly, the character became a former 1960s radical who finds herself in the unlikely (for her) role of mistress of an estate. The poor 23 year old from Queens is initially overwhelmed with the lifestyle of the wealthy but is entranced by not only her beauty but her stance against conservative people who dismiss the working poor. She is a liberal and uses her wealth to improve life for the poor as a philanthropist whom the young man admires and, eventually, comes to love.
