Goodreads asked Shelley Costa:

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

Shelley Costa I started percolating the idea many years ago. As a gal who loves, lived, worked and studied in New York, moved away and now vacations up in the Canadian Northwoods, I discovered I was really out of my element. And it seemed no matter how many experiences I was having "up north," I was never really more than a fish out of water. (Still, I keep going.) This truth struck me as a great premise for a heroine of a mystery series: New York City editor gets sent to the wilderness to sign a reclusive best-selling author of thrillers to a book contract. And murder ensues. Lots of opportunities for tension, danger, humor.
