Goodreads asked Beth Elliott:

How do you get inspired to write?

Beth Elliott It always starts with a picture. Maybe I see a face in a magazine or on the internet and suddenly, a series of events appear in my mind. So I search for more faces until the person has a family, friends, foes and a home. Then the research starts to create an accurate timeline. Then I need to visit the place where the story is set... it's more like discovering the story than inventing it.
