Goodreads asked Darin C. Brown:

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

Darin C. Brown Over the course of the last ten years, I worked a lot of night shifts. This led to a very odd sleep/wake cycle, and I found that when I drifted off to sleep or near-sleep, I became very creative. I would often watch miniature movies in my brain and think... that could be a pretty good book! Staring in 2010, I began writing down the musings in a notebook I kept next to my bed. Over time, the notebook started to fill up with concepts that would lead to a huge series, and that's how the Master of Perceptions originated.
