ⓘ About Jacqueline Winspear
Jacqueline Winspear An author’s origin story can be interesting and a source of inspiration. One well known author started her hugely famous wizard stories in coffee shops with a pen and yellow pad. Another from his collection of creepy Victorian photos. Others have to try to reconcile the pain and traumas they have experienced as children. Jacqueline Winspear had a serendipitous beginning for her character Maisie Dobbs. In spring 2000 Ms. Winspear was stuck in heavy traffic in the San Francisco area. The image of Maisie exiting from a tube station in 1929, she says it was like “watching a movie” in her imagination. The details came fast in her mind and she rushed home to write down the first chapter.
