Goodreads asked Sally Spencer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Sally Spencer It's a good question - and I'm not sure I know the answer. Sometimes, with the contract signed and the book expected, I sit down and wrestle with a plot which is highly manufactured and artificial at first, but becomes more organic as the book progresses. Sometimes, I see a location or hear of an event and start to think about how I can build a book around it. And sometimes, almost an entire book just pops into my head, seemingly without any effort at all on my part.
