Inspiration struck after I was travelling in the far north of Scotland and I came across the Russian Arctic Convoys Museum. I was astonished – it was a story that I’d known nothing about. Loch Ewe was the muster point for ships braving the Arctic seas and running the gauntlet of U-boats and air strikes. The idea of this peaceful, remote community becoming such a strategic focal point in the war was what inspired The Skylark’s Secret.
I believe we can learn such a lot from the past. I especially enjoy exploring the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times – the truth is often stranger than fiction.
