This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[I've read your book The Wayfinder. How did you come up with the idea of a Finder and a faithful telepathic dog that forces him to go on this quest and save the cities from a disease? Also, did you find it hard to write?

I was very impressed with it, although it has been several years since I read it. Thank you so much for the international book! (hide spoiler)]
