I usually have a few project ideas in the works - a large book project and simple history/natural history articles for a local magazine. Reverting to writing something non-fiction and simple generally gets the juices flowing. Also, I love doing the research. If I lose my way, I'll bury myself in research and reading. That will usually suggest directions my story might go.

Your pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago very likely inspired you to write FINDING THE WAY, which I am currently enjoying. What else sparked your curiosity? The atmospheric way you describe various landscapes speaks of your familiarity with them. What portions of research fascinated you most? (Medieval medicinal plants maybe? The church's view on herbalists?)
