Flo asked Malorie Blackman:

They said extra points for iambic pentameter, and so: When looking back 'pon books of long ago Which was it, which inspired you to write? (For surely, though the Bard inspired, I know, Did other authors bring you to the light?) (Sorry for the vague phrasing. Essentially, I've read 0&X, which seems to feature Shakespeare as a prominent inspiration. But was there any other specific author inspired your work?)

Malorie Blackman I won't try to answer in iambic pentameter but kudos to you for your verse.
