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?

Thank you for your comment. Maurice Blanche isn't really like anyone in my life - and certainly not like either of my grandfathers. He's another character who entered the life of Maisie Dobbs from the ether!

Jacqueline Winspear:
Masie faces such a great variety of situations, all of which impact her to some degree, but each one fits seamlessly into the fabric of the world you've created. Every detail is so well-researched and feels so true to the time period. How do you manage that? Where do the ideas for Maisie's cases come from?

Jacqueline Winspear:
The covers of your novels by artist Andrew Davidson are what first brought me to your work. I don't bother to pick up a book if the covers don't appeal. Then I read the book blurb, and with key words that resonate, I read the first few lines of the book. Would love to know how you began your association with Davidson, and anything you would care to share about how you work together?
