Goodreads asked Cathy Holton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Cathy Holton This is from Mark Holton, Cathy's husband:

Inspiration was never a problem for Cathy. Cathy drew upon everything in her life for story ideas, and always had at least a half-dozen projects in the works at any given time. As the daughter of a college professor, she moved constantly while she was growing up. Among her occupations during her life, she was a waitress, cowhand, paralegal, and an executive assistant in a fire investigation company. She raised three children, and volunteered for everything. She was a voracious reader, observer and listener, loved reality TV, and engaged in constant social activities with friends. Cathy was a veritable sponge, and had her ears and eyes open all of the time soaking up everything. She also loved hearing other peoples stories, and in addition to her own personal experiences, some of those stories became the kernels around which book ideas were developed.
