Goodreads asked Michael Cargill:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Michael Cargill My most recent book was set in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust so the idea simply came from reading and researching about that point in history.

I read a lot of non-fiction so I get ideas for characters and themes from all kinds of interesting places. I've found social history in particular is good for offering additional points of subtlety to my characters.
