Goodreads asked Amy Quick Parrish:

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

Amy Quick Parrish There was a song called "Pistolero" by Juno Reactor that, to me, sounded like a girl flying across the desert. I couldn't get the image out of my mind. I started wondering how a girl would get special abilities. My grandparents had both died recently, so the idea of exploring death, grief and loss was something I was thinking about a lot. Also, I was teaching high school in Texas. Swirl all those together, squeeze the metaphorical tube of toothpaste, and this is what comes out!
