Did you know that New York Times bestselling author Vivian Siobhan was inspired to write a book by a trip to an ice cream shop?

In an interview with Pittsburgh Current, she said that when she was on a book tour in Ohio in 2008, a librarian encouraged her to visit an ice cream shop located on the outskirts of town. While there, she witnessed how the female employees were being bossed around by a lazy boy. This inspired her to make Stay Sweet—a young adult novel set in an ice cream stand owned and managed exclusively by a group of local girls in a small town.

Isn’t it fascinating how a book was born out of an experience getting a frozen dessert? This goes to show that inspiration really does come from anywhere.
