Goodreads asked J. Guenther:

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

J. Guenther I'll assume by "recent" you mean the one I'm working on now. That is "In the Mouth of the Lion." The project started when I was killing time before a workshop. I'd finished my piece for the workshop and had about a half hour. I decided to write down as many ideas for one-act plays as I could in that time. IIRC, I came up with 26 situations. I turned Idea #8 into a 50 minute play. I took it to a screenwriting course and adapted it to a screenplay. Recently, I began the task of adapting it to a novel. I'll fill you in on the more interesting story of how the situation morphed into a murder mystery.
