Where did Scott get his ideas for books?
A. Most of the ideas for his books came from reading history or biography or from stories he heard on his travels. When he was in Bermuda, for example, he heard about the English ship that was wrecked off the coast on its way to Jamestown, Virginia. The survivors came ashore and lived there for more than a year before they built a boat and went on to Jamestown. That was the start of The Serpent Never Sleeps, his story about Pocahontas and Jamestown.
