Goodreads asked Donnie Vakarian:

How do you get inspired to write?

Donnie Vakarian I actually have several Spotify playlists with the working titles of my books. As I go about adding lots of acoustical, electronica, mood and world fusion titles, these become the sound tracks for each story. So, I go out and take long walks of two or three hours through the suburbs and parks of eastern Madrid, listening to the music and spinning new character attributes and filling in story lines. When I've amassed enough material, I take a ferry down to the Canary Islands or over to the Balearic Islands, rent a house and get cracking.
