Goodreads asked Pete Aldin:

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

Pete Aldin That question presupposes that we get one idea for a book. In my experience, the ideas that form a project as large and complex as a novel are many and varied. Eventually they collide into something approximating the “idea” for a book, but really I had a dozen ideas and visions for Doomsday’s Child including wanting to explore differing philosophies of manhood, is killing people justifiable, zombies in Tasmania and initiation into adulthood in brutal circumstances.
