As with most of the books I've written so far, the majority of the plot ideas come from newspaper articles. I find several that I like and apply the 'what if' factor to them. Next I try to create an intriguing nexus between them, add my "3M" formula (Murder, Mystery, Mayhem) and the next thing I know, a story is born.
