Goodreads asked G.S. Tabberner:

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

G.S. Tabberner As a child I loved to read Alan Garner’s Owl service and C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books and wished, I had a ‘Narnia’ of my own to visit and have adventures. As an adult this has remained largely unchanged. I live in Snowdonia (Eryri) in North Wales and the landscape here, coupled with my need for escapism, led to my overactive imagination filling my head with images before I fell asleep at night. I woke up one morning with the outline of a fantastical, mystery story of a deformed and broken man finding solace in a 'Narnia' like world of his own. I continued to play out this imaginary movie before I would sleep at night over several years until, finally, I felt I had enough to make a story that might be interesting. Once I decided to get my imaginary movie on paper it all came together rather easily.
