Thank you for sharing your talent with us all and giving us these books and a world to inhabit together. You convey so much of the psychology involved for your characters which, if we choose, can instill a better understanding of war from a personal view. Our world presently is engulfed in conflicts that overwhelm me. With your view do you have an understanding of how history can still be repeating itself?
Jacqueline Winspear
History is bound to repeat itself - but it's a bit like fashion in that some details change along the way. Dangerous Games by Margaret MacMillan is an interesting book about history.

The covers of your novels by artist Andrew Davidson are what first brought me to your work. I don't bother to pick up a book if the covers don't appeal. Then I read the book blurb, and with key words that resonate, I read the first few lines of the book. Would love to know how you began your association with Davidson, and anything you would care to share about how you work together?

Hi, Jacqueline. I love your Maisy Dobbs books and have read them all. I'm happy there's a new one ou soont. Some people find that a long series gets harder to write, to keep lively. Do you find that, or is it easy to keep thinking of new situations for Maisy to be in? Judy Hogan, also a mystery author.
