I'll answer this in two ways.
What inspired me to write? It was the death of Yvonne Fletcher. a police officer who was only doing her duty when she was ruthlessly cutdown by members of the Libyan Embassy. I didn't like the idea of Diplomatic Immunity and I ended up creating a universe where diplomats can be held accountable for their actions.
How do I get inspired to write? I know I have deadlines with my writing groups, so if I have to sit down and crank out 20 pages, that's what I do. It's a matter of having a deadline and getting it done. I also have a sign up in my office which is a quote from Ed McBain 'Just git it done' And I do. It's a command, with no room for argument.
