Goodreads asked Marina Costa:

How do you get inspired to write?

Marina Costa Everything can inspire me: a song, a movie I watch, a book I read, a story I hear somewhere. My mind functions in associations of ideas. I am writing since first grade. I can't live without writing, because the stories in my head want out.
Also, during research I get new ideas starting from the facts discovered then. For example, a name of a town or a historical event give me ideas about involving my characters.
