Kellie O'Connor asked Madeline Martin:

Dear Madeline Martin,I have read so many of your books and loved them all, especially The Last Bookshop In London and The Librarian Spy!! I'm excited to read The Keeper Of The Hidden Books!! Who or what inspired to become an author? Kellie O'Connor in Parma, Ohio

Madeline Martin Hi, Kellie - thank you for your question! I'm so glad you're enjoying my books! My love of historical fiction started as a little girl with reading Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder - I was hooked on historical fiction ever since! As far as writing goes, I've always written books and random chapters here and there, but I really started my first official book after reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I'm a huge reader, so the list of authors who have inspired me is really endless. :)
