Goodreads asked Nora Ryell:

How do you get inspired to write?

Nora Ryell Most of my inspiration comes from reading other novels but sometimes inspiration comes from reading nonfiction works such as biographies. The novel I'm working on now takes place in the Napoleonic years - I've just finished reading a biography of Napoleon and one of the threads I have in my novel comes from an actual experience he had.
