Maisie Thomas was born and brought up in Manchester, which provides the location for her Railway Girls novels. She loves writing stories with strong female characters, set in times when women needed determination and vision to make their mark. The Railway Girls series is inspired by her great aunt, Jessie, who worked as a railway clerk during the First World War.

Maisie now lives on the beautiful North Wales coast with her railway enthusiast husband, Kevin, and their two rescue cats. They often enjoy holidays chugging up and down the UK’s heritage steam railways.

“When things didn't go according to plan, her lovely mam always used to say that you'd laugh about it one day, so you might as well save time by laughing now”
Maisie Thomas, A New Home at the Wartime Hotel

“Women are always far more capable than men think they are”
Maisie Thomas, A New Home at the Wartime Hotel

“Stiff upper lips were important and it was one's duty to be brave and to cope with whatever was thrown at one, but that didn't mean that those who eventually crumbled under the strain were cowards. It meant that after years at war, they had reached their personal limit”
Maisie Thomas, Springtime with the Railway Girls
