Where did you first get the idea of including pagan-related content in the Star Dancer series? Also, this is more of an unrelated question, but since you are from the UK, do you watch Sherlock and Doctor Who?

Hi Alicia, lovely to hear from you.
I got the idea for Tegen in Star Dancer while taking a class of young writers to a reconstructed Iron Age village near where I live (replicating live 2000 years ago). I was teaching the students to sit by the fire in the hut and day dream what life was like for ancient people - or to imagine what was going on in this very hut, two thousand years ago...
And it worked for me too! Tegen's story came to me.

Yes, I love Sherlock, in fact one of my sons is an extra in a couple of episodes, which makes me very proud. And as for Dr Who, well, many, many years ago, I met William Hartnell, who was the first Doctor. (I was very young!!!) I love Doctor Who, and 'Weeping Angels' has to be my favourite episode. What's yours?
Very best wishes, Beth
