A Goodreads user asked Robert Jackson Bennett:

Do you get you ideas for novels from any special source? Life and experiences? What you've read? Just that kind of thinking mind?

Robert Jackson Bennett It varies. I get some of my plot ideas from the real world, namely history and news. The real world is a treasure chest of plot snags and complications. As far as attitude, ambiance, and atmosphere, I tend to pillage art, TV shows, and movies for that.
