I got the idea for The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper from showing my son my own childhood charm bracelet and telling the stories behind each of the charms.
I also knew that I wanted to write about an elderly character and enjoyed the challenge of choosing a 69-year-old, newly bereaved man.
Each of the characters on Arthur's journey are inspired by characters and events in my own life. It was like opening a scrapbook and pulling them out to give to Arthur!
