Goodreads asked Chris Fasolino:

How do you get inspired to write?

Chris Fasolino Visiting friends in Taiwan was definitely an inspiration for some of the settings in this book. At the Fort of Hongmao Cheng, now a museum, I got to see relics and artifacts from the days of piracy on the South China Sea. And the rich tropical environment made a great setting for the on-shore portions of West's adventures.
