By putting on my headphones, listening to music, and taking walks in the country. If I'm having trouble with a plot twist, I put the idea in my mind, then go for a walk and think of something else while the music plays. By the end of my walk, a solution will usually rise to the top.

The events in the book were inspired by incidents in my life and the lives of loved ones, exaggerated for (hopefully) amusing effect. I like to say it's fiction that almost happened!
