Karen asked Fiona Ingram:

What genre influenced you the most? And why?

Fiona Ingram Dare I say history (non fiction) books my parents bought us when we were growing up? We read all the children's classics, plus LOADS of Enid Blyton, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew etc, so adventure featured hugely in our reading material. But I have to say that history held us all captive (I have 4 brothers) and I think all those influences have somehow conspired to produce an adventure series full of action and heroic feats, and based on history, archaeology and lovely legends in various countries.
