Goodreads asked Elijah David:

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

Elijah David The original idea for Albion Academy was "What would happen if Merlin were a student in a modern day high school?" Merlin is one of my favorite characters in Arthurian legend, so the chance to look at him more deeply was an exciting one. Of course, the final version of the story leaves the original Merlin right where legend has him -- sleeping under a hawthorn. That didn't stop me from naming his descendant after him, though.
