Goodreads asked Ron Fritsch:

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

Ron Fritsch My most recent book, Promised Valley Peace, is the last of a four-novel series. The first three are Promised Valley Rebellion, Promised Valley War and Promised Valley Conspiracy. They’re set in a sometimes Edenic and other times violent prehistoric era. Hunters and farmers fight wars over a river valley their gods promised both of them.

I don’t know where I got the idea for the series. I’ve always wanted to write a story about people peacefully occupying an exceptionally fertile river valley surrounded by mountains keeping out their enemies. Sort of like America surrounded by oceans. Then I realized the outsider people might have good cause to resent being excluded from Eden.
