Claire Fuller, I am delighted to tell you that I read Our Endless Numbered Days and I loved it!!! What does it take to sit down and create that perfect story line and a plot so fantastic as the one you wrote in this novel? I find this book one of the best I’ve ever read and can’t wait to read Swimming Lessons and Bitter Orange! I will be find myself reading Our Endless Numbered days again soon for sure!

Hi Esme,
I'm so pleased you enjoyed Our Endless Numbered Days. It's hard to say where story or plot come from, because I don't plan my books in advance. I tend to start with a person in a place and write to see what happens. In this case, I started somewhere in the middle with Peggy crossing the river with her father. Once I realised I needed them to be in the woods for a while I went back to the beginning so that I could make sure that he had some survival skills, and it all unravelled from there.
I hope you enjoy the other two as much!
Best wishes and happy reading,
Claire
