Goodreads asked Leigh Turner:

How do you get inspired to write?

Leigh Turner Different things inspire me. But place often plays a role. My novel "Palladium" was very much inspired by Istanbul. My novel "Blood Summit" was inspired by working on counter-terrorism in the Foreign Office, then visiting the Reichstag in Berlin.

My novel "Eternal Life", on the other hand, simply came to me while I was waiting for my girlfriend to arrive on a date in Vienna!

I've written a bit about "where writing ideas come from" on my writing blog - see here: https://rleighturner.com/where-ideas-....
