Goodreads asked Stephen B. Pearl:

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

Stephen B. Pearl The one I’m currently working on started with a request from the people who invented the Fate of the Norns Ragnarok table top gaming system. For the Ragnarok adjunct game the world was provided for me, the Norse apocalypse, so I just needed to place a story in that format. Let me just say the rule book for the game provides some of the most concise and accurate information on Norse society and culture of any source I have seen, Yes I have studied the Norse, fascinating people. If the gaming people approve my idea it should be a good tail to tell. The next one out is likely to be Tinker’s Sea, the sequel to Tinker’s Plague, which is currently being edited for release by Brain Lag Publishing. With this one I just looked at what the consequences of all the nuclear powered tech we have around would be if society collapsed. Scary Boo.
