Goodreads asked Loraine Despres:

How do you get inspired to write?

Loraine Despres I love stories. Before I learned to read, I was always after any literate adult to read to me. When friends came over, we didn't play sports, we played make-believe and acted out stories. I wrote my first novel when I was ten. It was about pirates. The reviews were unanimous. "The child needs her head examined."
