Goodreads asked Donna Galanti:

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

Donna Galanti I had attended a writer’s meet up and learned about a class that started the next day to write a children’s book in nine months and said to myself “now wouldn’t that be a challenge?” Storms have always fascinated me and as a child I would sit on the screened-in porch to watch them. I remembered the movie War of the Worlds and how the aliens rode blasts of lightning and thought “wouldn’t it be cool to travel a lightning road to another place?” And JOSHUA AND THE LIGHTNING ROAD was born.
