Goodreads asked Julianna Keyes:

How do you get inspired to write?

Julianna Keyes It's pretty random. I'm more character driven than concept, so I don't necessarily think of big ideas so much as characters that get in my head and stay there. Eventually another character will come along and I'll think, these two are horribly mismatched - and absolutely perfect together - and do my best to come up with a story. The hero in the story I'm currently editing was inspired by a very messed up guy I saw on TV once. He'd done so many things wrong but he was so hot - I was conflicted. Who could love him? Who would he love? And a story was born. :)
