Goodreads asked Dina Haynes:

How do you get inspired to write?

Dina Haynes I've had stories running through my head since my first celebrity crush on Rick Springfield back when he was in the soaps. I was young (very very young). But in my process, I start with the characters. Being a visual type, I have to see them in my head first and then listen to the cues from who knows where (the great bucket of ideas in the sky). Once I have an idea of what the person does for a living and who she/he is, it usually starts with putting the person in a situation and seeing what happens.
