Goodreads asked Michael A. Draper:

How do you get inspired to write?

Michael A. Draper I was an English major in college and always loved reading mystery novels. Later I became the storyteller in my family. At Christmas time I'd gather the younger children and tell them a made up story or a short story like Poe's "The Monkee's Claw.
When I became proficient on the computer, I knew I'd be able to keep at it and write a novel.
