Goodreads asked R.E. Johnson:

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

R.E. Johnson Affinity for Pain, oddly enough, was loosely based on a dream. I had the images of a woman who could feel her lovers pain haunting me for days until I finally started writing the story down. I started with the first scene in the book and Hope sort of developed herself as the words came out. She was a hitwoman right from the get-go but I didn't even realize it until I started writing that first scene. Ciaran was the perfect match for her and walked into my head and claimed her as soon as she'd run away after almost killing him.
