Goodreads asked Jack Goodwind:

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

Jack Goodwind Ancient Truth is my debut novel and it is also the “chapter 1” of a much complex editorial project the “Line of Blood Saga”.
The starting point of this work is my passion for everything that is mysterious and out of the ordinary, joined with my idea of the role of a writer. I do believe, in fact, that “our” mission is to lead people to think, to induce curiosity more than to “state the verb”. Considering also that in my life I had the privilege and weight of witnessing first hand all that mankind can be capable of, from the most amazing art and technology to the shocking savagery of war, I developed a deep knowledge about the two faces of the human soul. And this is what Line of Blood Saga, and Ancient Truth of course, is all about. Using the most different sources, from Biblical tales to urban legends, from mythology to actual History, I have worked to forge in one, single, and uniform story the struggling of every man who is searching for answers. The Sci Fi / Epic Fantasy ground of this book series is just the container of a more spiritual and interior story; the quest of all the beings endowed of “Free Will”, the right to choose one’s own destiny, the individual responsibility to do it wisely.
