Goodreads asked Kevin Laymon:

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

Kevin Laymon I actually started writing a really dark dystopian book called "Infidels & Insanity" in the winter of 2014. At the time I was in a really bad place. One of the few benefits of being where I was mentally was the writing for Infidels was spot on. After getting a few chapters finished I realized the potential for sequels which would take place in space and on other planets. The tone for the sequels would be more along the lines of science fiction, technology, survival, and even evolution in a sense while Infidels is simply a dark psychological thriller set on future science fiction Earth. I placed Infidels & Insanity on hold and began working on Future Winds in December 2015 & finished it up a little less than a year later. Down the road, when my mind is capable of returning to that very dark place it was when writing Infidels & Insanity, I will finish the book & publish it as the prequel to Future Winds.
