Goodreads asked Nate Jones:

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

Nate Jones I can answer that in one word: airship. I've been a huge fan of airships from the first moment I heard about them. From games, to shows, to stories, every mention of lighter than air craft has drawn my interest. And the most exciting thing about them, to me, is that they're low tech enough to feature in a more traditional fantasy setting.

So this story began with the idea of an orphan on the ground finding a refuge in the sky on an airship. One of the first things I did was design an airship, although the current model is much changed from the original concept.
