Goodreads asked Fiona MacBain:

How do you get inspired to write?

Fiona MacBain I’d always wanted to write a novel but I didn’t knuckle down to it until I hit 40. Oddly, this was also the busiest time of my life with 3 children and a 4-day per week job, but perhaps the realisation I was roughly half way through my life made me get my skates on. I started getting up at 5am to write, and took my laptop absolutely everywhere with me, writing in any spare half hour, balancing it precariously on my knees at children’s sports activities. Somehow, in 5 years I managed to finish two novels, publishing the first one in November 2016, a month before my 46th birthday.
