Goodreads asked William Ruby:

How do you get inspired to write?

William Ruby I write every day, in some capacity. Can't help it. However, I like to write in the morning before the day and its happenings starts to crowd in.

A lot of the worst British crimes I wrote about were grim, upsetting and horrific in various ways, so there were days when I had to force myself to the computer. The crimes in which children were victims are especially hard. One feels the need to get the tone just right, and portray victims (young and old) as more than the simple collateral many true crime writers go for.
