Goodreads asked Benjamin M. Weilert:

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

Benjamin M. Weilert While it hasn't been published yet, I got the idea for "The Constellation Tournament" when I watched the anime, "Fairy Tail". During the Grand Magic Games, there was a match between two celestial magicians. Each one of them called upon the zodiacs to fight for them, which made me wonder how the other constellations would battle against each other. As the Grand Magic Games were also somewhat of a tournament, I realized that there's a common "tournament arc" through many anime and manga that I could use to structure my own story. Three books later and "The Constellation Tournament" trilogy has now been written.
