Goodreads asked Helen Mathey-Horn:

How do you get inspired to write?

Helen Mathey-Horn I think most of my ideas come at that 'almost asleep' stage at night. Some of them then write themselves. Some I think are destined to remain only ideas. Example, one time at a beach in Italy I saw what looked to be a rag half buried in the sand, and I thought 'What if that is clothing and there is actually a body connected to it under the sand?" That story idea still is rummaging around in my head.
