Goodreads asked Steven McKinnon:

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

Steven McKinnon 'Boldly Going Nowhere' actually started life as a blog. (It's now defunct.) I wanted to document some things and say some things and - yep - think of excuses for rubbish jokes.

I also wanted real life to throw a big daft adventure my way like 'Are You Dave Gorman?' by Dave Gorman and Danny Wallace, or other Danny Wallace books like 'Join Me' or 'Yes Man', and while that's not quite what happened, those books and writers are a great influence on it. I only wish I was as funny as either of them.
