Goodreads asked Jaq Hazell:

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

Jaq Hazell My Life as a Bench was inspired by all the memorial benches that line the riverside in west London. I often read the plaques when I'm out walking my dog. The benches dedicated to young people are particularly poignant. One day I imagined a young disgruntled voice complaining that they'd been turned into a bench.
