Goodreads asked Kathy Manos Penn:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kathy Manos Penn That's a hard one! I can be driving down the road and an idea pops into my head, or reading the paper or a book, and think "that's a good name for a character."

The fictional Cotswold village in my books was inspired by a 2018 trip to the area. I had taken lots of notes so I could write a newspaper column about the trip, and those notes drove my internet research.

So far, I've been fortunate, and things continue to POP!
