Goodreads asked Lori L. MacLaughlin:

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

Lori L. MacLaughlin I've always been drawn to strong female characters who are more than capable of looking out for themselves and who are accepted as they are. I also prefer fantasy worlds where women and men are treated as equals, with no thoughts of discrimination. No one thinks it strange if a woman leads a kingdom or handles a sword well.
I built my story around these ideas and fitted them into the world I'd already created in maps and sketches. My main character is my alter ego, so I dreamed up adventures for her that I would like to have.
