I think most writers don't wait around for inspiration, because inspiration sporadic for the majority of us and our books would just never get written if we only wrote during those infrequent moments. That's how it is for me, anyway. I try to write something everyday, whether I feel inspired or not.

The idea for Thrive came when I was on a camping trip with my family in a local woodland last summer. I couldn't stop marvelling at the solitude and peace we had there; we were only a half-mile from civilisation, but being there, it felt like we were the only people in the world. Especially at night when it was so dark and quiet and there was no light pollution. My mind wandered - as it often does - and I thought, "Anything could be happening back home and we wouldn't even know about it..." Then I imagined a zombie apocalypse happening and us being completely unaware of it, and how it would feel to emerge from the woods and find our home town overrun by zombies. It was the seed of a story, and sure enough, that became the opening of Thrive.
