My inspiration usually comes from a vivid dream. The ideas behind the book have sometimes been percolating for a while (possibly years), inspired by anything from a news report to a conversation. But those bits and pieces may swirl around for a long time, until I dream a scene or two. Those vivid scenes spark the compulsion to write.
Now that I'm a day hiker, I've also had ideas that sparked while I was hiking. All that blood flowing to the brain does some good.

Aren't you a little old to be an undergraduate? Or did you just start writing early? I'm thinking of EGGHEADS, which was published in 1996... Cheers, Pete Tillman, another (ex) AZ geologist PS: If you don't have a copy of John Shelton's GEOLOGY ILLUSTRATED, well, you should. PPS: your cover art is definitely looking up since those days.
