Goodreads asked Marissa Clarke:

How do you get inspired to write?

Marissa Clarke My oldest daughter, who was 11 at the time, was lamenting the heroes in books she'd been reading. Just to placate her, I told her I'd write a book with the kind of hero she wanted. To this day, I don't know why I said it. (I was even sober) I'd never wanted to write a book. Now I've sold 9. I'm rewriting that first book now, and it is coming out as part of my Underveil series. The first novel I sold was Shattered Souls, from Penguin.
