Marie asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I have just finished reading "Journey to Munich" and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Towards the end of the book you write of your visit to Leon Donat and mention the location of his home outside the village of Shere in Surrey (page 276). Can you tell me why you picked this beautiful little village of Shere?

Jacqueline Winspear I lived close to Shere for a number of years and always loved the area, so it was easy to choose it as a location in one of the novels. The Old Mill at nearby Gomshall was one of my favorite places to have tea, many years ago when they offered the most wonderful "Miller's Teas" on the menu, with fresh cress from the watercress beds. I believe it's closed now.

Hi Jacqueline..First I want to thank you for the many hours of pleasurable reading I have had with your books. Love them all. My question is simple. When will you travel to the Boise, Idaho area on a book tour? Ok, I lied. One more question. How many people at any given time are researching the clothing, the attitudes and morals of the different time periods in your books? Thank you for your time. And never

Not a question?, a statement. Maisie Dobb's series of books are the BEST I've ever read. I managed to read the entire 11 books in 3 weeks - could not put them down. I now have #12 on order through Amazon. Thank you SO much for this amazing series.

Carol B asked Jacqueline Winspear:

When you start writing, do you have a clear picture of the plot - an outline or does it organically grow? (And THANK YOU for writing)
