Goodreads asked Brian Harvey:

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

Brian Harvey I got the idea for Gone Grizzly by spending a lot of time hiking in the Rocky Mountains. Grizzly bears are a fact of life on those trails, although people seemed to disagree about whether there were more or less of them than usual. I got the idea, "What if someone tried to manipulate grizzly survival - for profit?" And wouldn't it be funny if that person was masquerading as a conservationist? The idea for the heroine was easy: I made her a Japanese tour guide, of which there are plenty around Banff. Hiroko may be the first kick-ass Japanese tour guide, but I loved writing her.
