Goodreads asked Sandra Fitzgerald:

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

Sandra Fitzgerald I was writing my first full manuscript and i thought 'Hey, wouldn't it be interesting to explore the grieving process of a woman after she looses her family' Then I thought . . . 'Man that sounds so bad', I wonder if i could turn it into a smexy romance and not a 'wrap myself up into the fetal position and rock back and forth balling my eyes out' story.
Then the name 'Maggie' popped in my head and I knew there are traditionally 5 stages of grief. And just like that the name was born - Maggie's Five.
