Goodreads asked Ria Dimitra:

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

Ria Dimitra After finishing "Selena's Requiem," the sequel to "The Blood Waltz," I thought it might be fun to revisit Michael and Maggie from "The Visconti Devils." What might be even more fun would be to write a story about the son they would have. What would he be like, and what sort of adventures would he have? I've been keeping up with the scene in Europe and in the Catholic Church, and I thought, you can't make this stuff up! I could write a story about the Nephilim and it would be only slightly crazier - or maybe not even. The idea for "Heaven's Irregulars" really came to me right at the time I was diagnosed with cancer. My life has been changed forever, and a change in direction seemed inevitable. So I wrote what has become my first Christian fantasy novel - but my battles with demons rage on.
