Goodreads asked M.D. Boncher:

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

M.D. Boncher Tales From The Dream Nebula's inspiration came from 3 different sources, but I can't tell you two of them because they are megaspoilers. But the first inkling was watching a "making of" video on Flash Gordon and the wild art director they had and how they came up with the spectacular visuals. The second I'll say was a thought experiment that I started unravling and said, you know, I have to use this concept in something some day!

The rest came from my usual inability to write genres cleanly. So if you want something that's going to be a unique mashup of genres and ideas. Have a bit of AI/Cyberpunk/Biopunk/lots of nanopunk, rootin', tootin' lots a shootin' with pirates and monsters and aerial dogfights with sky truckers robots and mutants.... with an evil galactic overlord... you're coming to the right place.
