Goodreads asked Philip Palmer:

How do you get inspired to write?

Philip Palmer I guess I'm inspired most by my own reading experiences...for instance, books like the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy and GAME OF THRONES and JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR NORRELL were a joy to read, and offered me wonderfully rich, immersive reading experiences. And looking back on them all, I thought, hey, I'd like to take a reader to that kind of a place. Though in my own particular way. And that's how HELL ON EARTH came about. A book which blends magic, crime, fantasy - all in what I hope is a rich and immersive world of story.

To put it another way: being inspired inspires me...
