Goodreads asked Mark Houser:

How do you get inspired to write?

Mark Houser I dive into the research, reading history, memoirs, landmark status reports, and especially old newspapers. Once I have more notes than I know what to do with, it's a challenge to figure out what stays and what goes. It's like putting a puzzle together, and the challenge is to use as many pieces as I can without the narrative getting too confusing.
