How do you get inspired to write?

Ilsa J. Bick Honestly? Captain Kirk's chest, and a dare from my husband.

Lisa Mandina
Lisa Mandina asked Ilsa J. Bick:

I feel like somewhere I read that White Spaces was going to be a part of a trilogy. I just finished The Dickens Mirror, and while it definitely "ended", I wondered if there will be a 3rd, or with the publishing thing, is it over?

Vickey
Vickey asked Ilsa J. Bick:

My copy of Monsters does not exist according to Goodreads. It has something called 'The Long Walk' at the end of the story. Is this a novella?

Dianne
Dianne asked Ilsa J. Bick:

I just finished Drowning Instinct. Please, please, don't tell me that is how it ends! My heart hurts just thinking about it! Please say there is still another book in the works and we get to find out what happens afterward?!?! PLEASE!!! (p.s. I know this book was written 3 years ago and probably has no chance of having another book written BUT I'm just hoping and praying for a miracle!)
