Goodreads asked Karen Nappa:

How do you get inspired to write?

Karen Nappa By now you probably know how our journey started – with a text message. It’s a testament about what inspires us; random things, normal everyday events or maybe not so normal, since a lot of people won’t visit BDSM clubs very often. It’s important to both of us to write about ordinary people. We write the kinds of books we like to read (or that we wanted to read but weren’t finding very many of).

Other sources of inspiration are our characters. They actually have minds of their own and storylines arise around them forming new books. Sometimes we need a minor character for something in a story and we have to hunt around for a name. Other times, the name just comes and the next thing you know the character is clearly going to be one who will get their own book at some point. They seem to arrive with full personalities.
