Goodreads asked Verity Brown:

How do you get inspired to write?

Verity Brown Most of my stories begin in my sleep, as a dream. If a scene or a scenario is really compelling, I will keep thinking about, wondering how the story goes from there. That's how AMA got started--I had a dream in which Snape and a student were immobilized, hand in hand, inside a house, with Death Eaters about to attack. I woke up wondering: what happened next? And a story grew. The details of that initial scene changed (as you know if you've read AMA), but the dream was what got the story going in my head.
