Goodreads asked Renee Spyrou:

How do you get inspired to write?

Renee Spyrou Inspiration, that's a tricky question. Initially writing was a way to escape the sad reality of losing my terminally ill son. Writing was, and is the only time I feel in control. What happens to the characters in my story is up to me. In life we only have a certain amount of control. The choices we make are sometimes overruled by things beyond our control. Like incurable diseases.
Eventually, writing became something more than just an escape. It became something I love doing, creating new worlds, and characters that come to life on a page. To me my characters are real people with real problems in an unreal world.
