Goodreads asked Alison Grunwald:

How do you get inspired to write?

Alison Grunwald Grandma is always lurking about in my head, along with Gertrude the cat.
She is completely nuts but, oddly, we share impulses and ambitions. Her adventures up to now are driven by my imagination asking "What if.....?
Well, I can never be the wife of Henry VIII, but Grandma might just make it.
I have never skiied very well and my nightmare would be causing mayhem on the ski slopes. Ah...Grandma seems to have done that! I would love to be able to fly and talk to animals. Gosh, Grandma appears to be able to do both. So it would appear that, deep down, we may be the same person. Now that's a truly terrifying thought, but you did ask.
