Goodreads asked Kelly Goode:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kelly Goode I find music always inspires me to write. I imagine the scene I want to write before putting pen to paper. I think about the characters as actors & actresses then put a soundtrack to what they're, almost like I am watching a film. Then I add those tracks to a playlist, plug in my earphones and start writing.

I have many favourite songs that inspired some of the more memorable scenes in Kari Stillwell's life. If you'd like to tell me your favourite scene, I'll let you know how I was inspired to write it and if there was a particular song that I felt fitted the characters.

When I was writing book #1, Wild Side, for the scene when Grayton and Kari first walk into the nightclub I was listening to Katy B's "Katy on a Mission" and remembering my own experiences and feelings about clubbing in my teenage years.
