What books inspire you to write and have you spent time at the Bodleian ? The scenes there ring so true to me having once been an academic !!

Yes I have spent LOTS of time in the Bodleian, doing research for my dissertation as well as my first and second non-fiction books.

I started reading A Discovery of Witches because of a friend's recommendation. I was intrigued by the comment she made about the strength and intelligence of your female characters. How was this a focus of your's? It came across so naturally, and I've found so few books with genuinely whole characters.
