She doesn't? She purchases the plane ticket herself - using her own name - and is reimbursed by Maren. There is no requirement for Maren to see the plane ticket in order to issue this reimbursement.

Hi Beverly, thanks so much. The Blame Game wasn't picked up by my US publisher, but The Nesting is out (with Penguin Random House) on Sept 29.

I find writer's block is usually caused by self-doubt, or fear, and I've discovered some techniques that help. Scribbling ideas with pencil on paper feels less scary than typing straight on to my laptop, so I'll do that for a while. And it's important to 'fill the well' - inspiration comes from visiting art galleries and museums (or, when possible, a European city!), reading, listening to music, and occasionally binge-watching box sets.

When something sparks my curiosity I usually have to write about it in one way or another. It might take a while for me to mull it over before setting pen to paper but it'll come through eventually... I am in awe of so many things, and angered by many others - these emotions (with a side order of curiosity) tend to fuel my writing.
