Goodreads asked Cortina Jackson:

How do you get inspired to write?

Cortina Jackson I draw inspiration from movies that I watch. I think about plots that would have flowed better if done a little differently; I then create something that I feel would be more intriguing than what I just saw.

I have over 18 years of Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement experience. I have witnessed a lot, I have talked to a ton of inmates, criminals, sex offenders, murderers. I worked in a prison, I was a sex offender case manager, I worked as a parole officer, and I was a police officer. I have material that allows me a large range of topics to draw from as well.

Not to mention life experiences that have inspired me. I was abused in my marriage and was almost killed. Therefore, I always have a new idea; I just have to direct it in a way that will interest my readers.
