Gareth Howells asked Jodi Taylor:

Hi Jodi. I have become a huge fan of the Chronicles of St Mary's books, and I started reading them around the same time that I was writing my first book, so they've become a big inspiration and aspiration as far as cohesive plots with likeable characters. I wanted to ask if you sometimes get an idea, then work it into a St Mary's plot as you're already rolling with them, and if you have some ideas reserved for later?

Jodi Taylor hi Gareth. A little bit of everything. I usually have the storyline more or less straight in my head when I start to write. Quite often though, an idea occurs to me as I'm writing so that gets incorporated as well. And I have a long list of ideas, thoughts, stuff to research and so on, some of which may be used in the future. I live in a world of tiny bits of paper! Jodi.
