Karen Jackson asked Mark Colenutt:

What inspires you to write?

Mark Colenutt Arguably the writer's favourite question. Having something to say. So in each of my novels in the Chester Bentley Mysteries series, apart from wanting to provoke wonderment in the reader, the first book had an element tackling anti-Semitism. The second book looked at virtue while the third book wanted to blow the roof on the romance surrounding piracy. But inspiration comes to you on the wind, so I am waiting for the next summer beeze, or winter gail to blow in. Thank you for allowing me to answer the question, but what inspires you to write?
