Anything can start out as the plot for a book. It just has to escalate and have problems associated with it.
Like I woke up this morning really early because my dog climbed on my bed and stuck his face under the curtains so he could sniff out the window. He might have done that because there was a burglar skulking down the street. That burglar might have been stealing the souls of sleeping people so he could sell them on the demon black market. If I woke up and followed him, I might have been pulled into a strange mystical mystery adventure. Where I found my own soul had already been taken and I have to confront the demon who bought it and try and get it back.
Of course, my dog could have just been trying to wake me up so I would feed him.

Steven Campbell:
How (if not available in an interview online) did you come across deciding to make a "Cyberpunkesque" series like Hard Luck Hank, and what influenced this creatively hilarious yet dark series? (I think that may have been two questions wrapped in an inevitable digital burrito).
