Sometimes a character just pops in, fully dressed and speaking. That's what happened when Eddie LaFarge walked into the Central Garage and asked Alice about her truck.
Sometimes a place--real or fictional--calls. I still love treehouses. I wish I had one. So Ghost Cat introduces the treehouse in Alice's yard.
Sometimes it's something about the animals in the hill country. In February, the smell of skunk hits you as you drive a lonely road...because in February, skunks are out seeking love, and not always making it across the highway safely. Anyway, what we do for love...that can inspire.
Sometimes inspiration comes from the past. I saw a photo of a cargo-load of mass-produced Bronze Age axes retrieved from the Thames. This image brought the Bronze Age to life, inspiring the plot of Ghost Dagger.
