(view spoiler)[Hello Fiona, Just read The Address and loved it. How do you make key decisions on the fates of characters? For example - Sara's life (not literally) is sacrificed for Mrs. Camden's. In this example, readers are rooting for Sara, but yet another twist arrives. I guess two questions, the one I asked first and then, how did this particular plot line come about? Thank you kindly.

Hi Nancy - thanks for your great question! I plot out the book before I sit down to do the first draft, and the first step is to figure out the characters and their goals. Then I figure out ways to thwart them from reaching their goals. (Love that word, "thwart"). I enjoy reading books with a good twist, and so as I write I'm considering ways to surprise my readers, while still keeping true to the time period and the characters.

I love your books. Have emailed you before to tell you this. Entered the Goodreads giveaway for The Stolen Queen and received notification that I had won a copy. This was in December, around the 16th I think. However, I have not received it and have gone on Goodreads several times to let them know. I am so disappointed that I haven't gotten it yet. Can you help?
