Goodreads asked Gavin Ough:

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

Gavin Ough I came up with it quite a while ago and it just sat, gestating in my brain, until I discovered Serealities wanted writers and sent them a submission. One of the team thought The Spaces in Between featured a completely new concept and advised I expand on it.

I'm not sure quite where ideas come from, often I'll be writing something else or reading and "What if x was to happen?" just jumps out of nowhere.

I mainly see scenes, usually the exciting or action packed bits which I then have to link or create a background as to why 'x' happened. That's the more challenging aspect as the scenes just appear but then I have to decide which scene goes where.
