The fictional setting of Gordburg grew out of my decision to write a sequel to 'Female Prey', and 'Female Prey' was inspired in part by a videotape, so I'll start there.
The video was titled 'Gold Diggers'. Much of it consists of a rough-looking man leading a bound and naked female captive on a hike through the woods to a place where he can sell her. The female captive in question has her hands bound behind her with plastic police restraints. There is a light chain padlocked around her neck, and a chain leash attached to that. She's also quite comprehensively naked: No clothes, no jewelry, and no shoes. So for much of the trek they're moving slowly so the captive can carefully pick her way along the forest trails in her bare feet.
That video was the inspiration for 'Female Prey'. In fact, a still from the video was used for the book cover.
The book did well, and I began thinking about writing a sequel to Kimberley's wilderness adventure, because I didn't think her story was over.
