Goodreads asked Donnell Ann Bell:

How do you get inspired to write?

Donnell Ann Bell I open my eyes in the morning. I'm always inspired. Headlines inspire me, radio broadcasts, walks, my surroundings. I once wrote a book because I couldn't learn the outcome. A man was gunned down on the capital steps in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I was on my lunch hour and it was breaking news. That night I tried to find out what happened, and it was as if the news had vanished. People aren't normally gunned down in Santa Fe in such a public place. I wrote my first book out of frustration, I suppose.
