Goodreads asked Lisa Y. Potocar:

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

Lisa Y. Potocar The idea for my new book, "Train to Glory", spawned from the first book in this two-book series. After "Sweet Glory's" release, readers began suggesting that I write a sequel; I had no choice but to develop a storyline that could logically follow the point in Civil War history where "Sweet Glory" ends. I discovered in my research that activists for women's suffrage and equal rights had decided to halt their campaign during the Civil War in order to put all of their efforts into the abolition of slavery and providing for the soldiers. I figured that when the war started to wind down, they would have hopped on any means by which to re-ignite their movement. Who better to turn to than a woman soldier, who could prove that if they have a mind to it, women should be granted the chance to tackle anything a man can? And the rest is--as they say--history (pardon the pun)!
