Goodreads asked Barry Ryerson:

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

Barry Ryerson I am disabled and often it takes me hours before I have the strength to get out of bed. During this time, my mind is often quite active, and can run through images and stories quickly. The Child of Fire and Earth stemmed from a simple question: what if climate change was more related to dragons? I then worked out how that could be, then built a world system based on 15th Century Europe, and a magic system based on elements.
