Goodreads asked Roger Thomas Pepper:

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

Roger Thomas Pepper Let me show instead of tell:

During a flight from Moscow to Kazakhstan, it struck me how beautiful the Tien Shan Mountains looked all decked in white and how ugly they could become with global warming. But what about when the permafrost melts in Siberia, now there really had to be a story there. Gradually, Corky Mason, the heroine of The Brothers Cro-Magnon, came into being and told me the story of how she fell in love with a baby mammoth and came within a polar bear’s whisker of being a cavewoman.
