Goodreads asked Nick Alimonos:

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

Nick Alimonos Typically, no single idea gets turned into a story. Rather, The Princess of Aenya was born out of an amalgam of influences. Among those: a Dungeons & Dragons campaign I played with my wife and nephews, early Disney films like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, Miyazaki movies like Kiki's Delivery Service, the work of Ursula K. Leguin, and high-fantasy epics like The Last Unicorn, The Neverending Story, and The Once and Future King.
