Goodreads asked Emma Fraser:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Emma Fraser My next book, We Shall Remember out in a couple of weeks as an ebook or in hardback was inspired by a story my daughter heard on a podcast about two Polish doctors who thought up a scam that ended up saving thousands of lives. I knew there was a strong connection between Scotland and Poland during and after WW2 and during my research discovered many more connections - not least that they also trained as part of the SOE in Scotland. My heroine is a Polish medical student who is in Warsaw when Germany attacks

Orna O'Reilly asked Emma Fraser:

As the island of Skye is so dramatically featured in your book, did you spend much time there doing research? Or was it a favourite place to visit? You describe it wonderfully; makes me want to visit! Also, the two women characters really spring to life as strong and ambitious, yet very feminine. Are they based on women you know, or have known, personally?

Penny asked Emma Fraser:

You mentioned that the lady in When the Dawn Breaks who set up the field hospital in Russia was based on a real character - how did you find out about her and how did you research this part of the story?

Matthew

Matthew asked Emma Fraser:

Hi Emma! When you write your books, do you already know the endings when you begin, or do you let it unfold as you write? I'm trying to write mysteries and am not sure if I should have it all thought out first, or should start with a broad idea and go with the writing.... any advice is appreciated!
