Goodreads asked Ian Kingsley:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ian Kingsley I have always needed to write, even from a young age. My first non-fiction works were published while still at school, and although my career began in research and electronics design, I soon married this technological interest with writing manuals for the army and navy as a technical author and the a technical publications manager. By then I was a chartered engineer and had published a number of technical books inspired by my work (written under a different name) on subjects as varied as semiconductor physics to digital design. I have also written books with a philosophical slant, as my website shows. The aim of these is usually to demonstrate that religion and science are complementary, not contradictory. But fiction was always the aim, although it took me a long while to get there. My first novel, ‘Sandman’, was published in 2010.
