In case you do not read or respond to comments on your answers, here it is as a question: You did a great job ticking all those boxes you set up for the Leon character, but I still don't know if you had someone to model this paragon after?
Jodi Taylor
Sorry - author brain! No, I didn't know anyone like that - and still don't. I think somewhere Max says the best thing about Leon is that he knows when she should be allowed to get on with things and when she needs to be talked out of something for her own good. And he knows these things WITHOUT BEING TOLD. On the other hand, she does say the most important thing a husband brings to the partnership is absence. But no - Leon isn't based on anyone I've ever known.

Jodi Taylor:
Hi Jodi, cheeky question! I was wondering if it was possible for you to make your books available on the Calibre Audio platform so that those of us with reading print issues could access audiobooks? I’m currently suffering with long Covid & am having to listen to audiobooks but, unfortunately, I can’t afford to buy them and I desperately need to finish both the St Mary’s and the Time Police series whilst bored in bed!

Jodi Taylor:
The description of White Silence makes it sound a bit more serious than the St Mary's books - but even in the saddest parts of the Nothing Girl books there's still your characteristic funny bits. Does WS have them too? (It would be sad to read a Jodi Taylor book in which no one 'goes like a train' or has unanticipated consequences snowball hilariously.)
