Goodreads asked Christine Stobbe:

How do you get inspired to write?

Christine Stobbe The inspiration to write can come from any number of things: a book, a movie, a picture, an event in my life. The inspiration for my current series came from a little story I made up in my head in the dark when I couldn't sleep. After several months of developing the tale in my mind as I drifted off, the story couldn't stay in my head anymore and insisted that I write it down. It started as a simple little romance that I thought wouldn't be more than a novella, and certainly wouldn't be anything I would be willing to share with anyone. But it grew and developed and became more intricate and involved and much more than a romance, and spawned five (so far!) interconnected novels.

Writing comes naturally to me - a spark of an idea can become a book or several!
