Goodreads asked Joseph Busa:

How do you get inspired to write?

Joseph Busa Originally, I had a general interest in Jack the Ripper and came across a man who ticked many of the boxes attributed to the upbringing and background of a typical serial killer.

I'm lucky enough to have a Life Coach as a friend, so I get his words of wisdom for free. He convinced me to put my money where my mouth is. It was a case of putting-up or shutting-up. Having written a fact-based book I decided to put my research to good use and wrote a fictional novel based upon the life of the real life Ripper Hunter, Inspector Edmund Reid.

Now that I'm up and running, it's just a case of choosing the right idea. Ideas usually pop into my mind whilst reading non-fiction books, magazine articles, or watching the TV.
