Goodreads asked Xanxa Symanah:

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

Xanxa Symanah "Carrying a Torch" is the prequel to "Neurotic Mothers' Battleship". I've been wanting to write about the younger versions of Mustapha, Malawi, Malachi senior and Josev for a long time. Their back-stories needed to be told and "Carrying a Torch" does that. It also sheds some light on the Cadogan family who feature in several of the Virian Chronicles. So basically, the idea suggested itself to me.
