Goodreads asked J.D. Cunegan:

How do you get inspired to write?

J.D. Cunegan When I was 11, I read my first comic book, an issue of X-Men. I don't know what it was about that book, but ever since then I've felt the urge to create. For the longest time, I wanted to be a comic book creator -- write and draw my own characters. That influence is probably evident in Bounty, as it should be -- that universe and its characters originated in comic book form. As I've gotten older, my writing ability has far outclassed my artistic skills, so I've made the transition to novels. I still hope to write comics one day, but it would be with someone else doing the art.
