Goodreads asked David Fabio:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Fabio My ideas come to me at night. Sometimes I envision a chapter. Other times, I might come up with a full outline.
Once the idea is in the bank, the real work starts. You have to know the setting of the book and how you can make the characters become real to that setting.
As a photographer, it helps me with the settings. A photo trip to the area gives me a number of hints I can use later as the background information is needed.
