Goodreads asked Lucy Taylor:

How do you get inspired to write?

Lucy Taylor Sometimes I see or hear something that just grabs me, and I know it would make a good story. For example, the idea for the story "The High and Mighty and Me" (Fatal Journeys) came from talking to a friend in Longmont, CO, who runs a fireworks stand for a month, 24/7, before the 4th of July. He was telling me about the strange people who show up at 3 a.m. to buy fireworks like the one called 'The High and Mighty'. I thought how lonely and maybe a little creepy it would be in that fireworks tent all night long. That turned out to be my story.
