Lisa Unger:
I started listening to your books last year! Wow you are so prolific! I didn't know about the Hollows stories will look for them next. I'm now reading CRAZY LOVE YOU, hard for me to put down. So where to you get your ideas/inspiration from? Thank you! Rosie

Thanks for reading -- or rather listening! I hope you enjoy The Hollows stories.
An idea or inspiration can come from anything really—a line from a poem, a news story, even a photograph—that is the seed for a new novel. And if that seed finds fertile ground in my subconscious, I start hearing voices. It’s always a character voice that pulls me into (and through) a novel. Plot flows from the characters, who they are, what’s going on in their lives and how they’re dealing with it.
Thanks for reaching out, Rosie!
