Goodreads asked David Gee:

How do you get inspired to write?

David Gee My Arab Spring novel SHAIKH-DOWN was inspired by the 'disappearance' (in the transitive sense of the verb) of a boy who worked with me in Bahrain (details of this on my website). LILLIAN began as a story to show my mother (who adored Italy) that there would be Life After Fifty, although sadly what was what was waiting for my ma was not a Sicilian prince but Alzheimer's.
