Oh, that's an easy one! Cain and Emma Casey from Ali Vali's Devil Series. What a hot, hot, hot couple. Yummy.

I draw all of my inspiration from my Alfa-beta-reader who is also my BFF, confidant and honest-to-goodness critic. I've never met her in person or even heard the sound of her voice. She lives 2,500 miles away from me on the other side of Australia with her wife and two small children. From the moment she read the first of my short stories she's encouraged me to write more and more, and then to consider publishing. Her wife proof-reads all of my work and my wife does all the editing. I am truly blessed.

Writing allows me to be a 'Stay-at-home-carer' for my mother.
It also provides a good therapy in that it allows me to escape from my own life and immerse myself in the lives of my characters. Then, when I return to my own life - which can sometimes feel like 'Groundhog Day' - I feel recharged and ready to resume.

I am so lucky to live in such a supportive network, rich with inspiring people who leave me with an abundance of ideas.
Of course it also helps to have fans, friends and family who ask, "So, when do we get to read the next one?"

I'm currently writing a romance novel that is loosely based on the last decade of my own life.

That would be my mother to whom I provide palliative care in my home. I prop her up with pillows and set her up with a good book and wring what I can from the time that provides.
Otherwise, I talk things over with my beta reader and best friend; even when I don't like hearing what she has to say about what I've written. Often, the answer is in the re-write.
