I loved The Chilbury Ladies' Choir -- I bought it while on a road trip tour of independent bookstores and read it aloud to my mom while we drove -- we were both laughing aloud! What are some of your favorite books, and did any particular stories -- fictional or historical (from WWII maybe?) encourage or inspire you in writing this one? (Kitty is my favorite character. I read you were keeping a tally.)

Thank you so much for getting in touch! I'm so glad you loved Kitty, as she was one of my favorites to write; she would just say what was on her mind, regardless of how ludicrous or rude it might be.
I love the works of P.G. Wodehouse, from whom I think I get a lot of my humor. He really has a way with sentences! I love historical nonfiction, and there are so many truly heart-wrenching memoirs set in the Second World War, many still waiting to be read.
Thank you so much again for your wonderful message, and I'll let you know about any upcoming books.
