Goodreads asked Robin Barefield:

How do you get inspired to write?

Robin Barefield I am usually inspired by a "what if" situation. I live in the middle of the wilderness on Kodiak Island in Alaska, so what if I looked out the window just as it was getting dark on a January day and caught a glimpse of a shadowy human form running through the woods? The idea sends shivers through me, and an array of ideas spark. What if a float plane never reaches its destination on a beautiful summer day? For me, the "what if" ideas are endless, but it's doing something with them that's the challenge.
