Goodreads asked L.A. Smith:

How do you get inspired to write?

L.A. Smith On December 1, 2017, my 32 year old daughter died from an opiod addiction. Soon after, a friend seeing me crying at work suggested I write a book to calm my nerves. She suggested I pick a topic I was interested in, research it and write a book. The topic needed to be totally unrelated to my life, offering an escape from my torturing thoughts. It worked as a medication free escape into my own sort of virtual reality.
