For Unexpected Witness - Forgotten Fodder Book 1 - the inspiration was the Clone Wars from Star Wars. When I was a kid, and I saw Star Wars (ok, Episode IV - A New Hope - I was 5 when I saw it in 1977, and it will always be Star Wars to me!) When Obi-wan mentions the Clone Wars to Luke, I thought it was a war where both sides used clones for the fighting. Which, it turns out of course, it wasn't.
But then, a year or so ago, I started watching Clone Wars. And I thought, when the war is over - what becomes of the hundreds of thousands of clones? That led to the idea of Forgotten Fodder - tens of thousands of clones, a decade after the war, are an underclass across society. How does that impact them?
I am super excited to continue work on this series and share insight into what I envision it might look like.

Never give up, never surrender! No, seriously, keep at it. Good or bad, just write. You can always go back and revise. Don't be afraid if it should be shared or no - just get it out of your head and onto the page or screen.
Everything you write builds upon your skill. So the more you write, the better you get. Don't be afraid - just do it!
