Goodreads asked Edward Vukovic:

How do you get inspired to write?

Edward Vukovic When I was young, my mum would read to me and as we huddled on our beat-up old couch, I'd watch as she moved her finger along the page so I could follow the story, conscious that her fragmented English was difficult to understand. If we didn't have a book to read, she'd tell me stories about her life and explained to me that through stories we could learn about ourselves and the world around us.

I tend to spend a lot of time just watching people go about their lives and recalling my mother's words, I just know that there's a story to be told in whatever it is they're doing, no matter mundane it might appear.

I just want to tell those stories.
