One of the things people often ask me is how did I come up with the ideas for my books? My first answer is my imagination. While this is true, it doesn’t explain everything. We don’t exist in a void. We’re constantly influenced by our environment. People we know play a role, but so do our experiences and our day-to-day activities. We read, travel, watch movies and generally live. Everything that touches us leaves its mark.
So my true answer is that life fuels my imagination and anything that sparks a new idea gets written down on whatever I have handy—a napkin, envelope, even my hand. They’re then added to my notebook of book ideas which I rely on when I’m plotting.
