Goodreads asked Travis Heermann:

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

Travis Heermann My most recent FINISHED novel is The Hammer Falls, a gritty SF-noir story, and it is currently sitting on an editor's desk all dolled up for the prom. It came to me while I was at the Odyssey Writing Workshop, during an in-class brainstorming exercise. It started out as a short story, but even then I knew the main character was too large to fit into a short story. It had been in my mind since 2009 to expand that story into a novel, so I started that project for NaNoWriMo last year, hit the 50k goal, and finished the book a few months later.
