Goodreads asked Earl B. Russell:

How do you get inspired to write?

Earl B. Russell It's hard to say definitely, but I have always enjoyed writing. The inspiration to write in such detail about the joys and sorrows of my family came from a sense of duty to tell the story the best I knew how, that it was a story that needed to be written, that I became obligated to write. My mother's death at my father's hands remains the great sorrow of my life.
