Goodreads asked Zena Shapter:

How do you get inspired to write?

Zena Shapter I am fascinated by difference and diversity. I love reading widely and absorbing information about anything; I love talking to anyone and everyone I can find (don’t let me corner you at a party!); and I love travelling overseas, searching out those unusual stories and uncommon sights. When I was choosing my subjects at school, I always split my studies precisely three ways between humanities, arts and science – I still do! The variety feeds my imagination, and you’ve got to feed your imagination when you’re a writer – it’s where you get your ideas!
