Goodreads asked L.M. West:

How do you get inspired to write?

L.M. West It is normally a character I have found who suddenly piques my interest. My books are based on real events that happened 400+ years ago and so information is limited, but sometimes I find a name and circumstances that just speak to me. Ann Camell is one such person, the narrator of 'This Fearful Thing' and my next book will feature an innkeeper called Mary Howldine - how could I resist a name like that!
