Goodreads asked Rick Barnes:

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

Rick Barnes Currently, I'm working on the sequel to The Unicorn Horn, which will be called The Dragon's Horde. The original book, The Unicorn Horn, came from ideas my kids threw out. I took every idea, both good and bad, that they came up with and combined it all together into a story. After reworking it quite a bit, I ended up with the fantasy world Forshee.
In The Dragon's Horde, I actually tease my readers with my inspiration for the idea... the book The Hobbit. After Ernie "borrows" a copy of the Hobbit, he gets the same idea the Dwarves had, to search for the Dragon's gold. From that idea, the 2nd book just sort of wrote itself.
