Absolutely love your books and won a signed copy at an auction on Facebook about birds. I'm in loved with your work! How do you find the inspiration to write such awesome stories? Does anything inspire the intricate details of the stories you write?
Lisa Jackson
Thank you and congrats on the win. I find inspiration in life and in death. The ideas come from places I’ve gone, things I’ve seen, memories that stick in my mind, dreams, magazine articles and stories in the newspaper, even TV shows. It all depends. Something catches my attention and I think, “What if” and I’m off and running. Hopefully. Sometimes I run right into a brick wall and that story never gets off the ground, but there are enough to keep me going. (I just hope I never run out of ideas.) The intricate details are for the reader so that she/he can see what I’m seeing. I’m glad to hear it’s working!

Lisa, how did you start writing? Where did your motivation and creativity came from? I'm now approaching 70 and still want to write. Something I've always dreamt to do, but find it hard based on time, motivation and stability in one place. I love your style, though I've never completed any of your books.
