Goodreads asked Phil Miller:

How do you get inspired to write?

Phil Miller In the case of my first book, taking walks and seeing the trees, birds, and bugs in our neck of the woods. My camera went to work next, and then available books and web sites, not to mention my childlike imagination. My second book began when a family from Kosovo got in touch with me through Facebook. We had been out of touch for eight years and hadn't seen each other for 16 years. Renewing this friendship reminded me of other relationships with friends who had been displaced from their homes and had somehow survived. The inspiration to write ignited like a field of dry grass and swept me along for five months of work.
