Goodreads asked Michael Charton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Michael Charton My father actually.. He was a chemistry professor, who wrote many papers. In my library career, I wrote papers and gave talks for the library profession. My wife was the book writer before me. My book about Professor Moriarty was an idea that was pushing to come out. Why was the good professor such a nemesis for Sherlock Holmes? I enjoy Irish history as well. I come that honestly. I married an Irish lass from Boston. One of my dad's closest friends was born in Belfast.
