Goodreads asked David Burrows:

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

David Burrows Ideas for my book came from several places. Oddly it was one scene that stuck in my mind and even more bizarrely that created a book. Where the idea came from? From within me, somewhere. It was a scene in a cavern deep in the heart of a mountain. I remember going around some caves when I was aged about 7 and clearly that must have had an impact. I also liked the idea of guardian angels watching over us, but wanted to explore the darker side of that.
