Goodreads asked Suzanne J. Bratcher:

How do you get inspired to write?

Suzanne J. Bratcher Places inspire my writing. Jerome is a little town in northern Arizona that I started visiting in the late 1970s. Over the next thirty years I watched it go from a ghost town of empty buildings to a popular tourist town. The empty buildings whispered about owners to me, the exhibits at the Jerome State Historic Park suggested stories of lost mines, and the cliff dwellings suggested history impinging on modern day: the Jerome Mysteries were born. Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, caught my imagination so that I researched the Ancestral Puebloan Culture that built the ceremonial center. Kokopelli's Song sprang into being.
