wonderwomand asked Jacqueline Winspear:

Maisie Dobbs is one of my favorite characters. In the preview for In This Grave Hour, we meet a character again from one of your earlier Maisie books - I think it was the Secret Agent book. Question: Did you already have an idea about writing In This Grave Hour when you wrote the Maisie book about Maisie taking a teaching position at University to find out something for the British government?

Jacqueline Winspear I had the broad idea for IN THIS GRAVE HOUR, and I always knew that Francesca Thomas would appear again - as she did in JOURNEY TO MUNICH. Thank you for asking, Diana.

Will you write any more Maisie Dobbs books? I feel as though she is an old friend and would hate to lose touch with her. I absolutely love all the books.

Wearethejones asked Jacqueline Winspear:

Where is your favorite place to write? Do you choose that location because of the inspiration it gives or the quiet? Thank you!

Cheryl asked Jacqueline Winspear:

Do you think you would ever write about your parents and the times (and place) that shaped them?
