Goodreads asked J. Kinkade:

How do you get inspired to write?

J. Kinkade I usually have a person in mind. My books are pretty much all character-driven. I enjoy seeing what drives people to do the things they do. My first book (unpublished) was a fictionalized version of why my German grandfather joined the SS--Stormtroopers during WWII. It was inconceivable to me because he was such a sweet old man. Anyway, I wrote the book because I couldn't stop thinking about his ordeals.
