You wrote earlier, that music is your biggest inspiration. I feel the same way. What about travels, books, and so on? Does seeing new places inspire you?

Hi Alex,
Great question. I love travelling and seeing new places and cultures. A lot of my latest series is based on what I saw when I was travelling around Nepal, the poverty and community was something that really stayed with me and although I didn't write my series until a decade later I feel like I understood the situation far better because of what I had experienced in Nepal. Seeing new places is great for producing new ideas and usually the journey home sparks all kinds of characters and plots.
I think it's really important to expose yourself to as many things as possible, whether it's different genres of books, or locations, or music. There's so much to be inspired by, it's not about finding it but about choosing what path we want to take today.
