Goodreads asked Timothy C. Ward:

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

Timothy C. Ward Scavenger was inspired by a scene in Hugh Howey's novel, Sand, where sand divers are scavenging in a town's sand buried remains. Hugh doesn't describe their backstory, and I thought I would. I can't really go into that backstory without spoiling Scavenger, except maybe to say he is the custodian at the local bar and brothel, and is on the verge of either becoming a villain or going back to his wife and forgiving her for letting their infant die.
