Goodreads asked Jonathan Alan Cortez:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jonathan Alan Cortez I find the majority of my inspiration through music, and depending on the mood of the scene or character, I bounce between listening to film scores [Ramin Djawadi & Hans Zimmer] and instrumental progressive rock [Animals As Leaders, Plini, Their Dogs Were Astronauts,The Samuel Jackson Five].

After the music sets the tone, and the creative wheels start up in slow-motion, I take a few swigs of Reign [energy drink] and get crackin'.
