Goodreads asked Felicity Radcliffe:

How do you get inspired to write?

Felicity Radcliffe I find inspiration from the place where I live, deep in the English countryside in what I call Middle England. Spoiler alert -it's not as benign and cosy as it looks! The people there are fascinating too; they inspired many of my fictional characters in "The Dark Side of the Book Club".

As a narrowboat owner, I am also inspired by life on England's beautiful canal network. This is going to be the subject of my second novel.

As a management consultant I worked with a huge variety of organisations in the UK, Europe, India and China. I'm sure these experiences will inspire some of my future writing.

My recent short stories have been inspired by other themes. I'm a keen skier, so one had to be set on the slopes. Also, my Dad was a Fleet Street journalist in the heady, but politically incorrect, 'hot metal' days of the 1960s and 70s, so another of my short stories is set there. Both have been entered in competitions. Once the results are announced, I'll post them on my Goodreads blog.
