Goodreads asked Ken Cressman:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ken Cressman My two favorite authors have passed away, and are therefore no longer writing much. To fill the void, I followed the advice "write the book you'd want to read." That's how I got started in the first place. Now, I guess the answer is simply asking, "What if?" My first novel, "The Flight of the Sparrow" was partially inspired by the question "What if James Bond retired?" What would he do? How would he use all those skills he acquired? The answer was a protagonist who uses those skills to do favors for friends and helps those who need it.
