Johnathan Cahn's Mystery of the Shemita
Angelia S. Phillips
My aunt and uncle both died violently, under mysterious circumstances and although their deaths were listed as homicide/suicide, some in the family had qualified reasons to believe both deaths were homicides.

I'm not always inspired, but I'm seldom going for long without ideas for topics to write about. It's the writing part that's the biggest struggle, and probably like that for most folks.
When I find a topic (I'm not a genre-bound writer, so a topic can come from all sorts of things), I make a note of it in Evernote or (Google Keep and later transfer it to Evernote--I rely heavily on both tools). Later, I refer back to my list if it's getting close to a publishing deadline and I'm lacking for a topic.
One trap I learned to not fall into as a young writer in school (even as far back as junior high school) was to maintain a deadline schedule, and that the schedule I have to maintain, may or may not sync with a period of inspiration.
It's an awesome thing to be inspired while writing, but not a necessary thing. I write nearly every day, and have a weekly publishing schedule. Once I committed to that, the rest of me followed suit, and the writing happens whether or not I'm inspired. :)

Prayer, primarily, but I don't often experience writer's block.

When a story, or message is bursting from your heart, begging to be told to as many who will listen or read, writing is the vehicle it can ride in.
It doesn't matter if it's on paper, or in an e-Book, painted in glyphs on a wall or chiseled in stone. It's the words that are important, not the form in which they arrive in.

Find friends who are willing to be a sounding board. Be willing to make adjustments in your content when needed. Don't get bent with your editors. Learn from them and don't wig out over suggested changes.
Do your homework. Polish up your craft. Take pride in your work and most importantly to me, pray for God's guidance.

A Christian speculative semi-fiction novel. Most of the characters are fashioned (intentionally) from people who lived or are still living. The miraculous/supernatural events in the story are both fiction and non-fiction.
The manuscript has been a long time in the making but I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel in regards to completing it someday.

Both of the books I've put together thus far came about as a team effort. The inspiration for them was to do two things, put real-life experiences of the miraculous and/or mysterious sort into books and to use the monies earned from their sales to fund some favorite organizations.
The books are know as the Mysterious & Miraculous series, M&M for short. :)
MMBI (Mysterious & Miraculous Book 1) has its revenue being donated to the K9s for Warriors Organization.
MMB2 revenue is going to the Support Homeless Veterans Organization.
