Goodreads asked Ron Rayborne:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ron Rayborne My inspiration began when I was a small child. I grew up in a, well, less than optimal household, yet when I was outside, lying in the tall, waving grasses, looking at the sky through the leaves of a tree, I felt at peace. There is a peace in nature that is delicate. You have to be in the right frame of mind, one that is accepting, open, perceptive and non-hurried.

The other thing that inspired me is my angst at seeing the way calloused, selfish, ungrateful people are treating this beautiful planet: like a big supermarket, without a care for the spirit behind it, or our impact on other species. So I guess anger and sadness at this greed has been a motivator. I don't like reading the news, but often find myself doing so only to find my hackles rising at all the crap that consciousless people among us are perpetrating, not just on each other, but on the rest of the world.
