Goodreads asked Lorin Neikirk:

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

Lorin Neikirk The book I'm currently working on is a relationship, and it sprung from a conversation I had with someone I was seeing at the time. A conversation most men and women can relate to, he thought he couldn't please me, and I tried to explain why he could, and that it is also a fairly simple task. During that conversation, I fortunately was able to convey some pretty complex data (how and why women respond to a man's efforts) using a metaphor that was rich with logic and familiarity. When I realized this information would help other men, I extrapolated the metaphor to help explain how a man can manage his end of the relationship in a way that not only makes sense to him, but is easy and keeps her happy.
