Andrea asked Robin Roughley:

Just read your book keep you near,I was hooked from the start highly recommended it to all my goodreads friends looking forward to the second book.where do you get your ideas from.?

Robin Roughley Hi Andrea, first let me apologise for being so late with my answer, I am easily baffled by technology and have never really got to grips with Goodreads though I need to try and learn my way around the site. I never start out with a plot and simple concentrate on getting the first chapter as good as I can. This usually means asking a set of question to myself, why did this happen and who is responsible. I then spend the rest of the book trying to answer the mystery. I did try plotting a book once but found it restricting and ended up dumping the idea and starting from scratch.

Many thanks for helping to spread the word it really is appreciated.
