Goodreads asked Jason Wallace:

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

Jason Wallace Encounters was inspired by actual reports of an extra-terrestrial sighting in Zimbabwe, back in 1994 – after sixty-two children, aged between six and twelve, ran screaming back to their teachers in the staff room after the children had supposedly seen a flying saucer land beyond the edge of their playground and two creatures emerge from it.

However, the thing that really got me thinking was not just what those kids saw, but WHY they saw it. My writer’s brain really kicked in, and I started to question what was going on in the background, and from that came six entirely fictional children who each take their turn to tell their story.
