Goodreads asked C.K. Johnson:

How do you get inspired to write?

C.K. Johnson So many things inspire me. I’ll be in a car and hear a siren and think, “they’re coming for us.” Then I have to think backward toward the who, what, where, and when stuff to work up to that sentence. Sometimes it will be something random someone says that will make me go—there’s a story in there—I just need to find it. Sometimes it’s ideas I get while writing one book that I know won’t work there, but could be somewhere.
