Goodreads asked Randall G. Arnold:

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

Randall G. Arnold I've always been fascinated with the idea of merfolk as far back as I can remember. I was inspired to write "The Dolphin Riders" by a combination of sources: a faux documentary about merfolk, the growing threat of climate change, and the discovery years ago of skeletons with elongated skulls on Malta. In 2015 these elements all came together for me, and the story wrote itself.
