Goodreads asked Travis Howe:

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

Travis Howe Animal Control: The Hero's Apprentice was inspired by my love for action cartoons of the 90s -- TMNT, Swat Kats, Darkwing, DuckTales, etc. For a long time, it was just a series of characters and adventures I'd make up in hopes that my animation career would lend me an opportunity to pitch a feature or TV series.
I didn't read the Harry Potter series until I was in my mid-twenties, but reading those books opened the door for me. Now I HAD to write Animal Control as a book series!
