Goodreads asked Rebecca Heflin:

How do you get inspired to write?

Rebecca Heflin As my bio says, my sister gave me my first romance novel when I was fifteen (my mother would have been horrified!). That book lit a fire under me. I became an avid reader and dreamed of writing my own book someday.

It took a while before that someday came, because although I'd alwasy dreamed of writing, but never had the courage to do it. It took a mid-life crisis of sorts to make me realize it was now or never. When I started my first manuscript, which became The Promise of Change, I had a goal: publish a book by the time I’m fifty. I published two books by the age of forty-nine, and at fifty-one I haven’t looked back.
