Goodreads asked Don Easton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Don Easton Like the protagonist (Jack Taggart) in my novel, I worked as an undercover RCMP operative over a span of twenty years, including seven years with an RCMP Intelligence Unit specializing on organized crime. The driving force that compelled me to start writing was a combination of self-vindication, catharsis and a desire to educate the general public. Like the protagonist in my novels, I have often had to wrestle with my conscience over the actions I took and live with the sometimes-unexpected consequence of my actions. As an undercover operative I discovered, as I hope my readers do, that we do not live in a world of black and white. It is my intention to make people better informed of the world around them, cause them to question their own moral conscience and promote a better understanding of people who are often less fortunate.
