Goodreads asked Kimberly Nixon:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kimberly Nixon I put myself in the genre and setting as much as possible. For Rock Bottom, Tennessee, I wrote on my mother's desk which had been her father's. He influenced one of my main characters. I also play Bluegrass (the book's setting is in Appalachia). Because my mother was the best storyteller about her family, I keep a photo of her close by. She is my inspiration.
