Goodreads asked Thaisa Frank:

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

Thaisa Frank I don't "get" my ideas. Fiction comes to me in images. Flaubert said "It's not the pearls it's the way they're strung together." I get the pearls first and the strings begin to form. At some point, I can see what the story is doing and it tells me what to do with it to make it whole.
