A Goodreads user asked Sam Garton:

What was your inspiration for the character Otter and his friends?

Sam Garton Wow, a question, thanks!
I used to tell my girlfriend (now wife), silly stories about an Otter, whilst walking home from work every day. It kind of stuck -- that was about 7 years ago now! Otter started off in my head as a much more bizarre character, her and Otter Keeper used to break into offices at night in order to steal USB memory pens.... they don't do that any more :)
