My most recent work is The Harry Russo Diaries and I have to admit, the idea just sort of popped into my head one day. Actually, the opening scene for the first book, Dead and Kicking, is what popped into my head. It's kind of a spoiler, so I can't divulge much, but the interaction that occurred between Harry and her grandmother sort of set up the character of Harry for me. From there I just started thinking about her and what she would be like and what could happen to her and voila! I had a story. Okay, so it's really not that easy, but it just goes to show that your inspiration can come from anywhere, you just have to run with it and see where it takes you.
