Goodreads asked S.C. Cunningham:

How do you get inspired to write?

S.C. Cunningham My books are based on incidents that have happened to me.

'The Deal' - I was taken as a child.
'The Penance List' - I crossed paths with a serial rapist (unscathed)

Both incidents sowed the seed for their creation. I am naturally inquisitive, looking at the faces of these men... I kept asking questions.

Why did they do the things they did?
What led them to this place?
Who/what was responsible?
How could things have been different?

I work as a criminal investigator.

So I guess experience is my inspiration.
