Goodreads asked Mike Gullickson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mike Gullickson I came out to LA fourteen years ago to become a screenwriter and learned quickly that it wasn't for me. The structure and terseness needed to write successfully just didn't work with my brain. Quickly I moved to prose and in 2008, during my honeymoon, I became very ill. I had contracted pericarditis, which affects your heart. So I was housebound for over a month. That month is what jump started my writing career and when I began The Northern Star series of novels.
