Goodreads asked Alison Morton:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alison Morton Two things separated by many years...
I've been a ‘Roman nut’ since age 11, and have visited sites throughout Europe including the alma mater, Rome. But it was the mosaics at Ampurias (Spain) that triggered me wondering what a Roman society would be like if run by women…

I've written much of my life - storyteller, playwright (aged 7), article writer and local magazine editor and more importantly a qualified translator. I came to novel writing after seeing a particularly dire film.
‘I could do better that that,’ I whispered to by husband in the dark of the cinema theatre.
‘So why don’t you?’ came his reply.
Three months later, the first draft of INCEPTIO appeared.
