Goodreads asked Marian Manseau Cheatham:

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

Marian Manseau Cheatham I've been in love with William Shakespeare ever since junior high when I saw my first production at the Goodman Theater in Chicago. Since then, I've enjoyed summer plays in the park, trips to Stratford-Upon-Avon to see his birthplace, a tour of the new Globe Theater in London, and reading biographies of his life. I wanted to be a part of this Shakespeare world, but how? The only way I could - write something. I picked the play I loved the best - Much Ado About Nothing, and tried to make it appealing to a modern audience.
