Goodreads asked Steve Copling:

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

Steve Copling The Sage Alexander series of books came from a request from my oldest grandson, Sage Alexander Copling, to write him a book as a Christmas present. The small book I wrote him (he made the request right before Thanksgiving, giving me five weeks to complete the task), is certainly nothing like the full novel about to be released, but the foundation is there, the general concept. Once I knew I wanted to expand the original book into something bigger, it was a short distance between there and the full fantasy universe I created. I don't think I've ever had more fun than writing this series. I'm a long way from finishing, but each book is plotted out and ready to explode from my head. Gonna be great!
