Reader Question : Where Did You Get the Idea for Milana?

Oooh.  That's a good one.  To be honest, I was pondering Israel, and how hard it is for an entire nation of people to hold up their end of a covenant.  Then I started wondering what would happen in a fallen world if the covenant were made with a single family?  And then I really started wondering, what would happen when God's Son came to that fallen world, to die for their sins?  A family that was really walking closely with God would recognize the Messiah they had been waiting for, and if they were in charge, how could the Messiah end up dying?

So, those were the questions I set out to explore when I started The Milana Legends.  This was so deeply buried in my head, that when I chose the colors for the imperial family, I picked the same blue and white that Israel uses, without realizing it!
