Goodreads asked Michael Trant:

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

Michael Trant Ridgeview Station was written to promote Gabyon Station, the idea being read the book, then come out for a look. Readers would recognise some of the landmarks, the landscape, the animals and a few of the characters. Some of the events in the book happened, either to us, or friends and acquaintances. Of course, it's all been jazzed up to make it more interesting, but most of it is based on experiences of some form or another.
