Goodreads asked Allen Wolf:

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

Allen Wolf A friend and I were laughing about the challenges of navigating the world of dating. Even though I was married, those days were still vivid in my mind. Those conversations inspired me to write Hooked about two people who are both dating-challenged, from completely different walks of life and the opposite from each other in major ways. The woman is paid to be with men and has a skewed view of love. The man is autistic and struggles with forming relationships as well as physical touch. He has his own idealistic view of relationships. I thought bringing those two together would make an interesting and dynamic story and could teach all of us something about love.

Hooked started off as a screenplay which won numerous awards at film festivals. The process of making a film can be long and so I wanted to bring the story to life sooner than that. I relished the chance to articulate the voices of the characters and paint the story of Hooked in a cinematic way through words.
