Susan asked Jacqueline Winspear:

Like all of us here, I love this series and how you have brought one of my favorite historical periods to life. With the next installment coming, I've been thinking about Maisie's getting married and pregnant and then tragically losing it all. Was this part of the storyline all along or did you feel that maybe the feint at a conventional life was not right for Maisie after all?

Hi, Miss Jacqueline.There's a lot of great questions here. I'd personally love to see a PBS creation from your Maisie Dobbs series! That's where I fell in love with Sherlock, and Maisie has that same feel about her, except that she wears a skirt as her greatest challenge. I've always wondered about Maurice. He seems such a strong mentor that he HAS to represent someone in your life. Your grandfather, perhaps?
