Where is your favorite place to write? Do you choose that location because of the inspiration it gives or the quiet? Thank you!
Jacqueline Winspear
As a professional writer, I have to write where I am. Generally, if I am at home I write in my very small home office or at the dining room table. If I am in England, it's the dining room table at my mother's house. If I am in an hotel - as I am right now - then I just sit at the desk and write. The inspiration has to be inside you, though I do like some peace and quiet. Having said that, I have been known to have construction begin outside the house and not even noticed anyone there because I have been so deeply into my story.

I want to thank for Maisie Dobbs, as well. I enjoy reading mysteries series, so what you do fits me very well. However, while many series are extremely formulaic, yours are not. The writing is more literary than a normal mystery series. I always learn so much about the time period and the people when I read one of your books. And, your characters are so human, well-rounded, and real. How do you do this?
