Author, writer, and producer Joel Eisenberg says there is nowhere he can’t find writing inspiration. His fantasy series, The Chronicles of Ara, was inspired by a painting he saw on Facebook. In the painting, a woman stands in a canoe with her back turned to the viewer. Eisenberg wanted to communicate the feelings this painting stirred up in him in his own way, which led to him writing the series. He describes himself as an artist who takes everything into his universe, processes it, and whatever he is compelled to share is what comes out in his writing.
