Goodreads asked Tom Tinney:

How do you get inspired to write?

Tom Tinney Life happening. I see stories in just about everything. Human stories of actions, bravery, strife, survival and triumph that I can insert into the universes of my writing, be it SciFi, Fantasy or techno-thriller.

I get bored by any current narrative or forced inclusion based on some sort of preset "Cause of the day". That sort of writing isn't honest and comes of ass condescending and forced to the reader. It is stealing that readers precious time. I let the characters talk and evolve within the writing process, so their story flows through the plot arcs I have designed.
