Goodreads asked Victoria Johnson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Victoria Johnson I fall in love with a snippet of a historical story, read in passing one day. In this case...Rockefeller Center has the nation's first botanical garden buried under it? Founded by a doctor who was close friends with Burr AND Hamilton? I was hooked--and that first thrill never waned once through many years of research and writing. In fact the more I uncovered, the more excited I became about sharing David Hosack's dramatic and moving life story with readers.
