Goodreads asked Nathan Smith Jones:

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

Nathan Smith Jones In 2012, my brother had an idea about a 'boy-dragon' concept. I told him it probably had already been done before (it has), but that what he needed was to find a way INTO the story. An access point. I gave him the idea of dragons being real long, long ago, but they became genetic stowaways on the DNA of the very creatures they knew would survive. The very humans humans hunting them. Then, a year and a half later, in 2014, I had finished my last project, wondered what the next one should be, and the dragon story came back to me. It wasn't too long before I became obsessed with it.

Amazingly, here I am, about three years later, and it's published. I'm still pinching myself!
