Goodreads asked Julia Ibbotson:

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

Julia Ibbotson I love the medieval period and in fact studied it at university for my first degree. A Shape on the Air is set in the present day and 490 AD, so very early medieval - the dark ages, really. I am also intrigued by time slip and concepts of time and what it means, parallel universes, and so on.
