Could you tell about your inspiration behind Someone You Can Build a Nest In?

Before there was a plot or a title, there was the relationship between Shesheshen and Homily. I got fascinated one night playing with the dynamic of this fearsome monster who was trying to maintain her disguise so she wouldn't blow her date with a wholesome, kindly girl. Every time I put them on the page, they filled it up with personality and humor and aching context. Theirs was a story that wouldn't fit in most fantasy books. So the big inspiration to write their story? Was to write a book where they belonged.
