Goodreads asked Jim Ody:

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

Jim Ody My ideas come sporadically over a long period of time. I started with the idea of a guy having his daughter kidnapped, and the wove the rest of the story around that.

I never plan my books out, but think of an idea and start writing, so I am intrigued, and entertained whilst writing it, completely unaware of where exactly the story is going to take me. I will then go back and fill in gaps, change scenes, and tweak bits accordingly.
