Goodreads asked Jo M. Sekimonyo:

How do you get inspired to write?

Jo M. Sekimonyo It was the first time Tara gave me the “serial killer look”, holding a sharp knife, and didn’t say a word for a minute. Bear in mind that even in my sleep, I would throw a tantrum denouncing the increasing gap between the “have a lot” and the “have squat” all over the globe. Little that I knew, my lovely wife was fed up of my homilies and wailings of the global socio-economic malaise, and more-so of my plans to present to the world what I believe is the remedy. Sure, I jotted down notes on gazillions of papers that laid like dead leaves on our office floor, but stopping short of mustering the energy and discipline to complete a manuscript. A family friend even suggested that I put my ideas into a book so that I can amass followers; build a cult? A preposterous idea, at the time. As much as it pains me to admit it, Tara was right. I had talked the talk for years, it was time that I walked the walk, or in this case, wrote the write.
