Goodreads asked Judith M. Ackerman:

How do you get inspired to write?

Judith M. Ackerman What inspired me to write? I am basically a creative person. I have won awards in art and city projects. I was a successful Real Estate agent for eighteen years and then became very ill with an illness called " Lupus"
I was devastated and felt like my world had come to an end. I was sick and isolated from everything. Then one day, I was looking at pictures of my Dad and I remembered all the great things he did before he died. He adopted me and my two brothers and worked so hard as a Commercial Fisherman. There were times we had hardly any food but we had love and the adventurous stories he brought home from every fishing trip. He died too early and I decided to honor him with "The Fishermen and the Mermaids" which is now being sold in Europe. I hope you enjoy it!
