Goodreads asked Nathan Bay:

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

Nathan Bay "King of the Sea: started with a fleeting idea for a storyline I had in 2013. I pictured a man wandering around the Golden Gate Bridge at night, inebriated on an herbal substance, when he suddenly sees movement in the water. It appears to be a merman, but in his intoxicated state, he isn't certain. I wrote the idea on a note card and didn't develop it any further. It was buried in my desk for three years. Then I found it in 2016, when I was working on a different story, and suddenly all the pieces fit together. That's how "King of the Sea" came to life.
