Goodreads asked Nicko Shoid:

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

Nicko Shoid Talking about the idea I would say -an incident of my life inspired me to write a poetry collection lined up with poems surrendered to life. Once I had an encounter with a stray cat which was paralyzed from its back and was moving on the support of its front legs.

To save it from dogs and other predators I took it to my room and later on I shown it to a vet. The vet in that government hospital told me that the cat is badly injured and has some internal bleeding. It has lost its ability to pass stool. Life is very painful for this creature and only death can allow it to be in peace. It would die soon. That statement fantasized my thoughts for death and I wrote a poetry collection titled as- 'A Love Letter to Death'.
