Sophester asked Robert Beatty:

I love your books! (especially the serafina ones) :D!! I have been reading them and the first one I read was in fifth grade (like 3 years ago).. Im so happy that there is going to be a fourth one because I have no more to read :C..... Ok now here is my question :p.. Do your ideas for books come naturally like a random idea or do you spend time researching and studying things (like nature) and then get your ideas?

Robert Beatty Ideas for books come from everything around me, including my daughters, the place that I live (the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina), wildlife and nature, things that I love (like birds, horses, wild animals, architecture, art), and so much more. I also spend time researching certain historical figures and scientific facts which I include in my books.

By the way, the fourth book in the Serafina Series is called "Serafina and the Seven Stars" and will be released on July 9, 2019.
