Goodreads asked Alan Reynolds:

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

Alan Reynolds Last year I visited a village in the Cotswolds (a very beautiful part of the UK) and took photos of the church (one of those features on the front cover of the book). I imagined this mysterious guy cycling down the hill into the village. What is his story I asked myself and The Tinker was born.
