Goodreads asked Bethany Turner:

How do you get inspired to write?

Bethany Turner Music. For me it's almost always music. Each story seems to have a type of music which fuels the dialogue and defines the characters a bit more clearly. The Abigail Phelps Series was Billy Joel (as anyone who has read it will know!) and the Christian romance I recently completed was a strange and wonderful mixture of Fleetwood Mac and Francesca Battistelli. Sometimes the role the music plays in bigger than others. For instance, Fleetwood and Francesca are under the surface, while Billy Joel was literally a supporting character in The Abigail Phelps Series!
