Goodreads asked Ann Wright:

How do you get inspired to write?

Ann Wright Sometimes places inspire me. I've always been interested in the King Arthur stories. Some of the myths place him in the late 5th century after the Romans had left Britain and I wanted to write something about that time (though not about King Arthur). I didn't really get a firm idea about what my story was going to be about until I visited Wincobank Hill in Sheffield which is the site of an Iron Age fort. It's a spectacular view from up there and I began to imagine what it was like in the past, when there was a Roman camp in the valley.
That's where I began to get an idea of the characters for A Girl in Time, which is set in the past, present and future. So the story is based on a fictionalised version of that area.
