Goodreads asked David Harris Lang:

How do you get inspired to write?

David Harris Lang I live in two worlds: the real world and the world of my imagination. Particularly when I wrote my first book, 'The Journal of Rabbi Levy Wang' which takes place in 1937 China, I felt that the inspiration was channeled to me through the spirits of my father and grandfather, who were fur traders living in China at that time. The trick, I believe, is to leave yourself open to inspiration. When you get a seed of an idea, immediately go with it.
