Goodreads asked Dean Floyd:

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

Dean Floyd The idea for my most recent book came to me a while ago after I was playing the Devil May Cry HD collection. I sat down and wrote a flash fiction (1000 words or less) off the cuff.

Afterwards, I expanded the flash into a novel (about 50,000 words). Once I looked critically at the finished novel I realized the story needed a lot of editing from a structural standpoint.

I decided to throw out that whole novel, salvage what I could and turn it into the Shamrock Samurai series.
