Goodreads asked Sharon Hamilton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Sharon Hamilton Our house burned down in 2008. I was left in an apartment, alone, for weeks while the reconstruction was being done. I got up when I wanted, watched all the TV I wanted at any time of the day or night, and read. Then I got the urge to write, and since I didn't have the normal distractions of animals, and a big house to take care of, I poured everything into writing. It worked. I'm never going back!
