Goodreads asked Chris Holcombe:

How do you get inspired to write?

Chris Holcombe I read the archives of the New York Times and the New Yorker, focusing on the dates that correspond with the book I'm writing. The city and the time period feel so alive in those articles, features, and yes, even their advertising!

I also have a cast of characters with very strong personalities, which provide a ton of inspiration as well. I want to see what they'll do and say next!
