Karen Machamer asked Brenda Hiatt:

Where do you get your story ideas from?

Brenda Hiatt Pretty much everywhere, Karen! One of my favorite stories to tell on that was the time I got a whole book from a single line in a song I heard on the radio. :) (That was Lord Dearborn's Destiny, and the song was Frankie Avalon's "Venus.") I think that's just part of having a "writer brain"--a tendency to spin stories from even the most trivial things around us. :)
