Goodreads asked Stephen J. Semones:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Stephen J. Semones I get ideas all of the time. Some good, some bad. Usually, the best ideas come to me when I least expect them. The best thing I do is keep notes on my phone. Even if it's not a great idea, I always have it there for reference.

Sometimes I'll be watching something, or hear a specific piece of music, and a story will come to me. Ideas come from everywhere. The hardest part is sifting through the bad ideas and finding one that strikes me the most as something I want to put down on paper.
