For Unexpected Witness - Forgotten Fodder Book 1 - the inspiration was the Clone Wars from Star Wars. When I was a kid, and I saw Star Wars (ok, Episode IV - A New Hope - I was 5 when I saw it in 1977, and it will always be Star Wars to me!) When Obi-wan mentions the Clone Wars to Luke, I thought it was a war where both sides used clones for the fighting. Which, it turns out of course, it wasn't.
But then, a year or so ago, I started watching Clone Wars. And I thought, when the war is over - what becomes of the hundreds of thousands of clones? That led to the idea of Forgotten Fodder - tens of thousands of clones, a decade after the war, are an underclass across society. How does that impact them?
I am super excited to continue work on this series and share insight into what I envision it might look like.
