Goodreads asked Erma I Talamante:

How do you get inspired to write?

Erma I Talamante I read alot - and I mean ALOT!! The intoxicating mix of stories from many different genres mashing about in my head are bound to run into each other from time to time.

I also travel for work, and with a four-hour commute, I have alot of time to think, too. This is where my stories get their body, playing What If? with my windshield (also a great tool for Writer's Block).

But the biggest inspiration comes when I sit down at the coffee-shop - with my writing buddy, or alone - tune in to whatever is playing over the hi-fi, and let the story go...
