Goodreads asked Susan Buffum:

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

Susan Buffum I honestly don't know where my ideas come from. They just come into my head of their own free will. In the past, anything could spark a story idea- a certain house, building, character or event. I don't really have to think too much. I just open up a new word document and start writing and the story just evolves. I have one story in which the characters suddenly began doing things I did not want them to do so they're sitting on a back burner while I stew about what they'd gotten themselves up to- it certainly wasn't what I wanted them to do!
