Goodreads asked Conor Kostick:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Conor Kostick The book in question is Sinead, the Sword and the Stone and it came about because my dad was showing me around the castle at Taunton and claimed that a large stone there used to hold Excalibur. So it occurred to me to write a story where Excalibur is still there, waiting to be drawn. Of all the thousands of tourists who make the attempt, what would happen if the sword left the stone for a teenage Irish girl?
