Where do you get your ideas?
Ideas are everywhere and anyone can catch them if they practice watching and listening to what’s going on around them.
Sometimes ideas come to me from my own experiences, sometimes from other people’s. Sometimes they come to me when I’m reading a book someone else has written, sometimes when I’m in the middle of writing one of my own!

As someone who has known you forever, I love it when I'm reading one of your books or stories and recognize a character, place, or event. 🙂
Even when that character is singing in her sleep (as in Who Is Sleeping In Aunty's Bed)?
