Goodreads asked G. Russell Overton:

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

G. Russell Overton The idea for Running by Night actually came to me sometime in 2005. I travel frequently for business, and I often encounter things while traveling that give me such ideas. When I'm on a long flight or in the car driving long distances, I begin to ponder "what if" scenarios. Many times those thoughts are fleeting and nothing more than bouts of temporary insanity. Once in a great while they stick. That is what happened with Running by Night. I was flying to San Francisco on business. It was a crowded flight, and I felt trapped. My mind took that feeling and the idea emerged.
