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

Stephen Strutt Where did I get the idea for my most recent book, "OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT"?
The following is a quote from the introduction to my book "Out of the bottomless Pit":-
"As a child, I was absolutely fascinated by C S Lewis’s “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” When I read it, I did not know at the time, why I was so fascinated by it. There was something in that book that was much deeper than normal. Something caused me to read it again and again.
Many years later in around 1978-9, I was very impressed with another book by Charles Berlitz called “The Bermuda Triangle”, (on my book-shelf at GOODREADS), which was a bestseller at the time, and read by 20 million readers. That was one of the most amazing books I had ever read, on this topic of the paranormal, and in this particular case the mysterious, strange happenings, and disappearances of persons worldwide. That book had so many very interesting details, facts and figures, that it took many readings in order to get all of the information down pat. There were many other causes for the inspiration given to me, in order to write "OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT" including my own fathers being a fighter pilot in the UK, who often saw UFO'S and other strange phenonemon. So I decided to write a book that covered many of these strange subjects.
