Goodreads asked Peter Tonkin:

How do you get inspired to write?

Peter Tonkin Ideas from the headlines usually (especially in Richard Mariner books) So Blind Reef (the most recent) is about people smuggling. I'm working on a series set in Ancient Rome at the moment - and the inspiration from there, of course, is in the history books!
