Hi there and thank you for taking time to do this! I hope someday to have the pleasure of meeting you and hearing you speak. My question is about you! What kind of music do you like to listen to? Do you play an instrument? Do you listen to music while you write? Warmest regards!! Huge Maisie fan!!!!!

Hi Karly. I never listen to music while I work. I am useless with instruments, which is OK as my husband is a musician and song-writer,and I've lost count of the number of guitars he has stashed in his work room, so one in the family is quite enough. I love smooth jazz, the blues, and rock and roll - I'm a big Stones fan, adored Amy Winehouse and I could play Joshua Tree until the speakers give out. And I also love listening to vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Diana Krall - and I love classical composers, from Beethoven to Vaughan Williams, Schubert, Thomas Tallis. The only thing I don't like is country music - but then there's Alison Krauss, who's wonderful, and Emmy Lou Harris (would love her hair), so maybe I do ...

Hi Jacqueline..First I want to thank you for the many hours of pleasurable reading I have had with your books. Love them all. My question is simple.

How many people at any given time are researching the clothing, the attitudes and morals of the different time periods in your books? Thank you for your time. And never

Earlier in the series there was a policeman or detective that Maisie seemed to connect with. I think his name was Standon. He left the department to be a better father to his son. I've always wondered if he'll make another appearance? Thank you for enriching my life with your incredible talent. I also love Orlagh Cassidy as the voice of Maisie Dobbs.
