Goodreads asked Leonide Martin:

How do you get inspired to write?

Leonide Martin The fascinating lives of these historic women, the ancient Mayan "queens" and their exotic culture gives me endless inspiration to write. I've been writing stories since pre-teens, and my academic career required lots of writing and publishing, though those were professional texts. After retiring I took up fiction again. I feel a mandate to bring the magnificent Maya civilization to more readers' attention through works of fiction, which are more accessible than scientific tests.
