Goodreads asked Keith Robinson:

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

Keith Robinson When writing a series, the idea for the NEXT book always comes along as I'm finishing my current work-in-progress.

So, right now, 90% through my current book, I'm getting glimmers of an idea for the next book in the series. It's often a change of pace, so if one book is chaotic with lots of characters, the next might be quieter and moodier. If the current book is in a forest, the next might be on a mountain or at sea. So I change up the setting, pace, and tone a bit. Then, the actual plot itself is a separate issue and often comes after I've established the setting.

My most recent book is no different. I don't know exactly where the idea came from, only that it popped into my head at some point while writing the last book.
