A Goodreads user asked Susan Soares:

Where did you get your inspiration from?

Susan Soares Everywhere! I'll hear a song lyric that sticks out to me and I'll get an idea for something. Lots of times it's just a phrase that someone will say and it strikes me a certain way. Often, out of the blue I get the idea for a book title and then I just come up with an idea based on that. It's kind of backwards that way but it works sometimes! :)
Reading also is very inspiring to me. It's hard for me to read a great book sometimes because the writing makes me itchy to write something myself. It's like listening to great music and you have to sing along!
