Goodreads asked Brian Lancaster:

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

Brian Lancaster Companion Required had been hanging around for a couple of years after some good friends talked about their experience on a gay cruise, and how bringing a group of friends along made everything so much more enjoyable. And then I saw a documentary on Netflix called Love Boat, and the idea took off. I already had the characters of Kieran and Kennedy in my head, and they felt like the right combination for this kind of adventure. Finally, having the support of a gay writing community helped me to shape the story as I wrote.
