There are so many exciting fictional worlds that I couldn't just pick one, so here are a few of my fictional-world-places-to-visit:
Valley of Rivendell, Middle-Earth (Lord of the Rings): I would explore every corner of this magical refuge of the elves.
Hogwarts Castle (Harry Potter): besides attending several of the classes, I would definitely look forward to the mouth-watering meals in the Great Hall.
Though more a film franchise than a book, Star Wars must make this list. There are countless places I would visit, but would probably start by exploring Coruscant, the city-covered planet, capital of the galactic empire.

To be totally honest, the ultimate inspiration for me is when I realize that my book has had an emotional effect on a reader, on someone I don't even know and have never met, like this reader from Spain who wrote on Amazon:
"Brilliant! I loved it from beginning to end. I laughed, I cried with the characters. I so want to read the following book."

Derin and Dylan's characters (and their love story) had been swirling in my head for quite some time, and I had been developing a "pipeline" of different set-ups, plots, and story-contexts which I considered interesting. But since I started following more closely what is currently going on in the UK (and, as a matter of fact, in several of our so-called "western democracies") I realized how fragile our societies really are: manipulation of people's deepest emotions and fears, blunt lies becoming the norm, intolerance, discrimination, ultra-nationalism, hate... The —not so remote— possibility of our free society turning into a totalitarian dystopia in a relatively short time (within our lifetime) sparked the development of Heroes of Englandom's plot.
