With real life, or just a little anecdote. You just have to pay attention.
Some examples:
- "Sofía y el Ángel Caído" (Sophie and the Fallen Angel, not yet translated into English) was born when I heard in the news that the police had rescued a 14-year girl that had run away with an adult because she was in love with him. With some changes (the original story was not very nice) this book became the most beautiful book I've ever written.
- The whole series "In strange orbits" was inspired by a little girl stating in the subway that she wanted to become an astronaut. I simply though what would happen if she became an astronaut at her age, and what events would lead to such a crazy situation.
- "Lorraine y el lord impotente" (Lorraine and the impotent lord, not yet translated into English) was due to a jest. Talking about Star Wars, my son stated that Darth Vader was the "imposing lord", and I joked about whether he had said the "impotent lord" (in Spanish, "imposing" and "impotent" only differ by one letter). That gave me the idea for the title, and I developed the book from this title.

Ramon Somoza:
Buenos días Sr. Somoza. Soy uno más de todos los lectores que opinan que su novela "Sofía y el Ángel caído" es de lo mejor (si no lo mejor) que hayan leído. He leído en un post antiguo (2015) en su blog que iba a publicar otros dos libros continuando la historia (en 2016 y 2017), pero no he sido capaz de encontrarlos en la tienda Kindle que es donde compro todas sus novelas.¿Podría indicarme dónde adquirirlas? Gracias
