Try to come up with a main character for your story. Write down a description - male, female, eye color, etc. etc.
Then take this character and imagine then in some odd place or scenario – anything goes! Write down ideas on what would have to happen to your character or how they would react to the scenario you placed them in.
You can do this for multiple characters if you like.
This may seem futile, but it will help you flesh out some characters and give you insight into what you may want to happen to this type of character in a potential story. You may even come up with multiple story lines!
Strong well crafted main characters can inspire readers to love your story as well as drive you to write a great story for these imagined beings so be in! :-)

If you hope to find the answer here, you may be looking in vain. It should come from within yourself, through your own experiences. If you can't find a good way to start, it's one hell of a job to fill up an entire book.

Read. Just read whatever is around you, such as magazines and books. Reading can inspire you to write because it puts lots of different ideas in your head. So the more you read, the more you will know and the more you can write with what you know.

Here is a sentence for you to begin with:
Never before had Anne Braithwaite found a butler -her own butler, for that matter- dead in her closet.

I suppose it depends on you, your personality, and where you find your inspiration, but I personally recommend looking for weird or offbeat new stories (I think www.cnn.com and www.sfgate.com have very good sections) and go from there.
