Sorry to keep you waiting. I thought I already answered your note.
BORN TO ROCK was my first attempt at Young Adult fiction. That and a love of rock music created the story. As for inspiration, you'll find that most authors don't require it. We write because we have something to say, a story to tell. There was no more inspiration besides the fact that I thought it would make a good story. That's it.
