Goodreads asked Roberta Grimes:

How do you get inspired to write?

Roberta Grimes I have 20 years of pent-up fiction ideas from my long period of writer's block that began when My Thomas was orphaned at Doubleday in 1993. I have many more whole novels in my head than I ever will have time to write! The Letters From Love Series has four more (maybe five more) novels still to come over the next ten years, and I pretty much know what they will be. Just have to get the third generation to grow a little older! I love spending time with these characters who are such complete human beings to me that they write their own stories - I feel as if I'm just watching and trying to get it all written down prettily. I've also got a mystery-thriller in my mind that has been there for at least twenty years - I may get to that one for next year as well. I love trying new kinds of fiction, but always with a love story in there somewhere!
