Goodreads asked Xavier Neal:

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

Xavier Neal Compassion...wow. Two places. I was at the gym one day and saw this guy with a backpack on and thought to myself, "What the hell is that backpack?" which is when a voice popped in my head and asked "Wanna know what's in mine?" I kinda just let it pass like I often dude with random character voices until I got home and saw the trashcan blocking my driveway and the voice popped back in and said "I've got one helluva story. You ready to listen?" And...well... I was.
