Goodreads asked R.D. Crist:

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

R.D. Crist Even I think this is unbelievable. I just said I wanted to write something in this genre and within an hour I had the first chapter, with no idea of what I was going to do and no direction. When I looked at it, I was dumbfounded as to how well it turned out. From there it just grew and grew from the end to the beginning. That's how my mind works; it just continually feeds the ideas - mostly in the shower when I can't write them down.
