Goodreads asked Chris Platt:

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

Chris Platt I get a lot of my ideas when I'm running. I also use a lot of my own life experiences. I've had horses since I was two years old. Almost every bite, kick, buck and stomp that is in my book is something I've lived through. A few years ago, there was a case of an old lady unable to take care of her horses. It was really sad. That has always stayed in the back of my mind. Then, recently, a friend of mine came home from Afghanistan with a bad case of PTSD (that he didn't think he had.) The book came out of those two situations.
