A regular contributor to the San Francisco Chronicle, May wrote for both magazines and books, often on supernatural topics such as ghost sightings, clairvoyance, and haunted houses. Her biography of popular contemporary psychic Sylvia Browne enjoyed success with forty-two weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list. It was during her teenage years that she was first exposed to the character who would become the protagonist of her debut novel, titled Pilate's Wife. May stated in an interview with HarperCollins: "A half remembered sermon I heard as a teenager continues to tug at my imagination. The gist of that Easter homily was Pontius Pilate ‘washing his hands’ of a difficult situation. Well, we've all done that! I was far more intrigued by a random reference to Pilate's visionary wife, Claudia. Who was this seer with a dream so powerful that she sought to change the course of history?" In 1992 she began research, first with university classes at Stanford University, then with travels to historical sites. Over the course of the next fourteen years, Pilate's Wife evolved from a traditional biography to a fictional novel with historical underpinnings."
