Goodreads asked Philip Dampier:

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

Philip Dampier The Red Shoe came from a red shoe lying in the middle of the crossover on the road going home. My wife brought it to my attention and we began to ask, "Where did that shoe come from and how did it get there?" After a couple of weeks I couldn't stand it any more and sat down and started to write an answer. Two weeks later the first draft was finished and two more weeks later it was revised and edited and two more weeks later I put it on Kindle Scout. It got some attention so I decided to self publish it just for the fun of it.
