Hi, Jodi, How do you manage to be so prolific while maintaining the quality and historical accuracy of your books? The Chronicles of St. Mary's books are my go-to when I need an escapist lift, which is often. The characters get into your heart and stay there. Thank you!
Jodi Taylor
Hello Peggy. Thanks for your question. My prolificness - if that is a word - is because I don't really do anything but write. Obviously I take a day off every now and then - although I do take a notebook with me because you never know when the next Brilliant Idea will come along. Thank you for your kind comments about the quality. I really do try to make every book as good as I possibly can. And I have a fantastic editor who's brilliant at pin-pointing just what's wrong with that chapter and can provide targeted advice. I'm glad you find the books escapist fun - they're great fun to write as well. Take care - Jodi.

Hello Jodi. I'm addicted to your books and very much enjoy reading all your 'themes'. Noting the 'local' connections is that why you named the St Mary's Director 'Edward Bairstow'? Are we likely to have any references made to the English (Yorkshire) composer of the same name whose musical life included York Minster, or any musical elements in your stories? Keep writing, please, your books brighten my life.

Hi, I've just started A Catalogue of Catastrophe and it's prompted 2 musings. 1) Do you have an end point in mind for The St Mary's Chronicles? Will you keep writing them as long as there's a demand for new instalments or have you got a storyline all worked out and once it's over that's it? (I'm wondering if I need to start slowing down my reading of each book or if I can continue to devour each one in one sitting!)
