Goodreads asked Christoph Fromm:

How do you get inspired to write?

Christoph Fromm That varies. Mostly I meet people who are so interesting to me that I use them as models for my fiction. Research is hugely important to me. When I have time I ride the subway and roam the city. Time and time again you meet people who you would have never been able to conjure up only from your imagination.

Sometimes I’m also inspired by newspaper articles or books. I’m very interested in economic interdependencies. My novel „Die Macht des Geldes“ deals with these contexts.

The Battle of Stalingrad has determined years of my life. The question how far people can be pushed to the limit in an extreme situation gripped my imagination and occupied me for years.
