Where do you find inspiration?

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration really from the sea in a word. Inspiration is a very small part of the process of writing a book. In my case I grew up on the coast. Its like blood for me. And also the fiction that I've loved such as Herman Melville also used the sea as a landscape for their characters. And a combination of my reading of certain novels, like, lets say Moby Dick and my own experience as a coastal child has really been a driving forces behind my fiction. So there's really a watery theme behind everything that I write.
