Goodreads asked Fergus Currie:

How do you get inspired to write?

Fergus Currie Inspiration is a strange beast. If you go hunting for it, you'll only get a glimpse of it in the bushes somewhere in the distance. If, on the other hand, you frequent where it lives then it will come and devour you! This the the best way. Of course I mean I read a lot of books and magazines about strange historical events or human interest stories and then follow up the ones that grab my attention with research either in other books or on the internet. I never look for inspiration to write; it comes to me when I least expect it and then, as I say, it devours me.
