Goodreads asked Yvonne Phillips:

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

Yvonne Phillips While driving, actually my husband was driving, I was being driven, I saw a herd of goats eating weeds on a hillside. I wondered where the goat herder was. Maybe a girl goat herder. Maybe she milked the goats and made cheese from their milk. Maybe she made artisan breads to go with the cheese. Maybe she sold this at a local farmers market. And from that we got The Winemaker's dance that doesn't have a goat, or a goat herder or cheese maker in it. And that's the way my mind works.
