Lindsey asked Scott Hawkins:

Okay so I need to ask - where the heck did LAMC come from? You've written programming manuals, more programming manuals, and then BOOM an amazing, unique, well-done, riveting novel, seemingly from nowhere. Where did the inspiration come from? Did you write other fiction before but it was just never published?

This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Scott, I loved this book. The ideas were original in a way I haven't seen in awhile and the characters were great. For some odd reason, whenever I was reading 'Erwin', I couldn't help but here him with Sam Elliott's voice. A little crazy, huh? So... you have to be thinking about a sequel, yes? Carolyn has some serious unfinished to deal with and I'm sure Erwin could handle being her American advisor, right?
