If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Jodi Taylor
This is tricky one. I've been thinking for a couple of days now, and I've narrowed it down to three. The first is the Regency world of Georgette Heyer. It's witty, colourful, there's always a happy ending and, on stressful days, a wonderful place of safety.
The second is the world of Mary Renault - Ancient Greece. The story of Theseus as told in The King Must Die and The Bull From the Sea is magnificently described.
The third has to be the world of JK Rowling - Hogwarts, etc. Imaginative and magical, who wouldn't want to go to school there.
So there you are - those are my worlds. As to what I'd do there - just exist and enjoy being in a world so very different from my own.

Hi Jodi, I have just finished your latest book Plan for the Worst and thoroughly enjoyed every word of it. Another brilliant read. I wonder if you could set my mind right on a couple of queries. Firstly I was a bit confused about Mathew Farrell, who was working for the Time Police in the previous book but is back to being a much younger schoolboy in the latest book. Also how could Markham be removed from 1483?
