Two things. The first is a trilogy titled "The Slavegirl at the End of the World." It is the story of a 20 y/o woman who has survived a plague that wiped out 2/3 of the world's population - and 97% of men. She ends up on death row in Washington state but is sold as a household and sex slave to a farmer in Florida. The farmer uses slaves to operate his farm and he is under constant pressure to produce enough for what is now a tiny community of 2500 people, mostly women, trying to survive in a suddenly hostile world.
I'll get the first volume out in a few days. I've got to format the book, copyright it, and produce a cover.
The next two volumes need some rewriting.
After the"Slave Girl" trilogy, I'm working on a murder mystery. Nikki is a major character in that book, but the main character is a black female detective. My favorite villain (well, 2nd favorite after Michael Dalton, the vampire in "The Food" and "Blood Spirit,") Austin Trask, also has a big role to play.

To tell you the truth, I don't get "inspired." Whenever I sleep or rest, a number of characters and situations enter my mind. Some of them are quite real to me and I follow their lives for years. I've known Donna Parker, the protagonist in 4 of my books - along with her circle of friends - for over a decade - for example.
I still follow her life and check in on her from time to time.
Nikki Chalmers, the protagonist in the "Story of Nikki" series appeared one day and I had to write her story down. I wrote the whole series in about six weeks. But she lives on, and I've written down quite a bit of her post slavery story already.
Likewise, Denise Sager, the young woman at the center of my next series, just showed up one day. Her situation (as a 20 y/o death row inmate purchased as a sex slave by a Florida farmer in a post apocalyptic world in which most people and nearly all men are dead) interested me enough to start writing her story.
So, the answer is: I have a very rich fantasy life and, now that I'm retired, a lot of time to write.

Currently I'm editing a three book series about another heroine in a post apocalyptic slave situation.
And, I'm writing a murder mystery (sort of) in which Nikki is one of the main characters and a little more is revealed about the Nevada Facility. It takes place a couple of years after the end of the "Story of Nikki" series and, although the facility is in the background, the story is not about the facility.
IOW, I don't know about a book specifically about it. I have some notes on a book that partially takes place in the facility, but it's one of several projects I'm considering.
And, finally, thanks for your support. People who read books like mine are rather scarce.

The same as Mickey Spillane's: Buy a typewriter and start writing.
Although, I'd modernize a bit and use a laptop computer instead.

I have five books I'm getting ready for publishing. I plan to release one every 2- months.
Two are continuation of the "Nikki" series.
3 are dark erotica post apocalyptic, in which the main character is a sex slave to a Florida farmer who owns a number of female field slaves. (Most men are dead in this world.)

I don't work from ideas. A number of interesting characters inhabit my imagination. I watch them and, from time to time, write down what they're doing.
