Hi Karen -
A lot of different things. A lot of it comes from my memories growing up, nostalgia, if I'm being honest, which they say is cousin to scurvy (go figure). But I try not to be sentimental about what I write. If anything, I'm inspired at the thought that if I express what's in my heart to the absolute best of my abilities, the work will be both sincere and genuine. I suppose you could say I'm inspired at the thought of being honest in my work, to my characters, and to the people who might someday read my books. Thanks a bunch for connecting and asking this question.
