Goodreads asked Tabetha Waite:

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

Tabetha Waite Actually, that is where my life experience inspiration came into play. The very first line in "Why the Earl is After the Girl" is from my heroine, Athena Hawthorne, who exclaims, "What do you mean it's all...gone?" While she is learning that her inheritance is missing, that was the same disbelief I felt when my old laptop crashed and I lost all the WIPs I had been working on, which was a lot! Unfortunately, I didn't have a backup, so it actually taught me a lesson to save everything on an external device before I turn my system off.
