Goodreads asked Richard Phillips:

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

Richard Phillips Originally conceived the basic idea - or rather the beginning and end - as a film script about 15 years ago. I suppose that one day I was just musing about a lost love - as one sometimes does in melancholy moments - and then I had the 'what if?' moment. That led to the story.
