Goodreads asked Bill Aitken:

How do you get inspired to write?

Bill Aitken Reading ... reading ... oh, yes, and some more reading. I'm particularly drawn to the quirky and unusual corners of history. And if you really want quirky, the best place to look for it is in British military history. To be honest, if you have characters clear in your mind, they really do take on a life of their own and you begin to see them become restless for more action.

Or perhaps I just need to get out more ...
