Goodreads asked Jim Tilley:

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

Jim Tilley Marveling at wind turbines, at whole farms of them, reading articles by people for them and against them. Then thinking more broadly about the environment and inventing a character whose life, viewed from outside, is a conflict between his personally cherishing the environment and his continuing success as a lawyer in defeating environmentalists who bring lawsuits against his big-energy clients. From that starting point, I could imagine how other characters fit into his life, some from the past and some who'd he meet during the course of the novel.
