Goodreads asked Skip Yetter:

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

Skip Yetter Rilertown's plot is woven around actual events and experiences I had as a young reporter for the now-defunct Holyoke-Transcript Telegram in Holyoke, Mass. I wrote it to capture a period in US journalism that now seems long gone, and to create a contemporary hero in the newspaper business at a time when journalism jobs are ranking slightly above garbage collector and dog catcher.
