Goodreads asked E.M. Powell:

How do you get inspired to write?

E.M. Powell With medieval history research, it's a case of how could you not get inspired? It's such an exciting time, with so many extraordinary events and wonderful characters. For instance, when researching The Blood of The Fifth Knight, I discovered that the medieval menagerie at The Tower of London actually had its origins at Henry II's Woodstock hunting lodge. And Woodstock was one of the places Rosamund Clifford lived. So we now have lions, lynxes and a leopard in the England of 1176. Such fun!.
