Goodreads asked S.R. Wilsher:

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

S.R. Wilsher The Collection of Heng Souk came from a conversation with my mother. I don’t remember my father well as he died when I was young, and was away at sea for long periods with the Navy anyway. But my mother told me that he was once shot at taking a gunboat upriver during the Korean War. She didn’t know much more, but the story grew from that.
I saw a previously unseen picture of my late father for the first time recently and the idea for another novel filled my head almost instantly.
