Goodreads asked Jim Lively:

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

Jim Lively My new novel, "Punitive Damages" was inspired by PJ, my adopted female Weimaraner. I knew soon after I adopted her or she adopted me, that she was no ordinary dog. We matched wits from the beginning with her usually winning. It occurred to me that she would be an excellent subject matter for a book. The book is written entirely from her perspective.
