Goodreads asked Robert I. Katz:

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

Robert I. Katz Most of the time, I get ideas from books that I've read, sometimes from something that I've seen in the media. A lot of it is just being open to whatever ideas come along. I don't have a notebook full of ideas, like some writers do. Often, by the time I finish a book, I have plenty of ideas for the next one. Sometimes, I have to cast my mind around, thinking of what I want to write next. It rarely takes more than a couple of weeks between finishing one book and starting the next.
