Ice Princess asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I love your books! My question to you is what gets your imagination started when you start writing your books?

Jacqueline Winspear As a professional writer I cannot wait for the muse or my imagination to kick in - I have to get to work. But it's true to say that history is my inspiration, and the journey of ordinary people in extraordinary times. People and their stories are always my inspiration.

Carole Russell asked Jacqueline Winspear:

Is Maisie based on a real historical person or someone you know? She is so human that your readers are captured by her. Your mystery writing is different in that there is always a murder that forms the nucleus of the novel, but her relationships with Billy, James, Priscilla, etc. are honest, insightful, sincere, and even humorous that you have become my favorite writer!!

Katie Marie

Katie Marie asked Jacqueline Winspear:

Earlier in the series there was a policeman or detective that Maisie seemed to connect with. I think his name was Standon. He left the department to be a better father to his son. I've always wondered if he'll make another appearance? Thank you for enriching my life with your incredible talent. I also love Orlagh Cassidy as the voice of Maisie Dobbs.
