A Goodreads user asked Kevin A. Kuhn:

I was friends with you I forgot you were a writer. I just picked up one of your books. I hope it's good. I guess I got to ask a question. Where do you get your ideas?

Kevin A. Kuhn Peter, thanks for the question, although it’s not an easy one. My ideas for writing are typically tied into something I’m currently dealing with in my current life. For my debut novel, “Do You Realize?”, it started with a mid-life crisis. I hit fifty and the realization that half my life was over hit me hard. I first began to think about the meaning of life and then that evolved into thoughts about what was important in my past. I found myself considering what were the most significant events in my life, what were the most important days. I asked myself what if I had the opportunity to relive ten days in my life. “Do You Realize?” sprung from those thoughts.

My second book, “Ten Tales of a Dark Tomorrow” is a collection of short stories. Their inspiration is varied, but I try to address the origins in a short introduction to each story in the book itself. Rather than repeat myself, I’ll just encourage you to pick a copy. I sincerely hope you enjoy my stories!
