Podcast appearances and mentions of Jacqueline Winspear

Bart's Books, the world's largest outdoor bookstore, has been a beloved Ojai institution for decades. However, it wasn't until Emma Bailey, who started selling books there as a teenager, took the helm of their event programming that Bart's began hosting regular author conversations. Since launching the series in June 2022, Emma has organized over 30 live events, gathering writers and local experts for engaging discussions in Bart's cozy courtyard. Bailey's talent for connecting authors with the community has helped Bart's thrive as a cultural hub. From conversations about gin with author Lesley Solmonson and local distiller Brad Miller, to environmental discussions pairing Patagonia Books authors with local figures like Tom Maloney of the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy, Bailey has created distinct experiences that resonate with locals and visitors alike. Through her growing network of publishers and authors, Bailey continues to expand Bart's offerings. With her keen eye for new talent and her passion for fostering literary dialogue, she plans to bring a diverse array of voices to Ojai, including upcoming talks with acclaimed writers like Maisie Dobb's author Jacqueline Winspear. We did not talk about ikebana, wildebeest migrations or oak trees. For more information, check out Emma's Substack, 10,000 Books, or BartsBooksOjai.com.

 Georgina Bassington-Hope is sent Maisie's way because she thinks  Inspector Stratton and company did less than stellar work investigating the death of her twin brother. Georginia believes her brother, Nick, did not accidentally fall from the scaffold in the art gallery. She feels like he was murdered. Will Maisie and her trusty assistant, Billy, be able to uncover the truth? The suspects are many, Nick's three artist friends, his brother, Harry with a gambling problem, the wealthy American that has paid handsomely for Nick's previous works, and many more! When Maisie and Billy discover their office ransacked and their case map stolen they basically had to start over from square one.  There's some heartbreaking in this novel as readers see the class difference in London at this time, however class does not determine joy. Kate connected this to a book she's reading, Created to Be His Help Meet, that explains how Gratitude comes before Joy. God stresses the importance of gratitude over and over in His Word. Join Kate and Sheila as they reconnect with Maisie Dobbs. It's 1931, she hits  the streets of London and the countryside as well to track down the truth. Some of our favorite quips and quotes: “How might I serve?” (The most important question, learned from her mentor, Maurice) “Things are rarely as they seem.” “Choose your battles, Billy.” “...if I am to keep Georgina Bassington-Hope out of your way, to effectively pick up your laundry, then wash and fold it, I should say you owe me a bit more than 15 minutes in a 3rd rate caff on Oxford Street.” : ) Maisie letting Inspector Stratton have a piece of her mind. Are you ready to sip a cuppa and solve the mystery in Jacqueline Winspear's  Messenger of Truth? Happy reading dear listeners! 

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten say goodbye to Maisie Dobbs after 18 of Jacqueline Winspear's mystery novels, narrated beautifully by Orlagh Cassidy. Listeners will appreciate the tender way the characters' closing stories are treated. Cassidy's use of accents lends credibility to Winspear's fully developed characters and well-researched plot. In 1945 London, Maisie discovers four adolescents and a desperately sick soldier squatting in a vacant mansion. While solving a possible murder occupies Maisie, she is truly driven by caring for the needy. Cassidy once again provides listeners with the rich tapestry that Winspear has woven through the series.

We will be discussing Maisie Dobbs: a novel DB67808 by Jacqueline Winspear when the Mystery Book Discussion Group next meets on 7/23/23 at 5pm Eastern. This is the first book in a series of which BARD currently has 16 titles in audio format. BARD also has these 16 titles in Braille format. Liz Lindsey is the group facilitator and will be leading the discussion. NLS annotation: Maisie Dobbs: a novel DB67808 Winspear, Jacqueline Reading time: 9 hours, 28 minutes. Jill Fox A production of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Library of Congress. Historical mystery fiction Historical romance fiction War Stories Thirteen-year-old Maisie is lucky to be a maid in the home of a wealthy London suffragette who sees to her education. Maisie becomes a private investigator in 1929 after serving as a nurse during the Great War. Her first case involves a shelter for wounded veterans. 2003.

“That's one more thing I detest about war. It's not over when it ends.” Lady Rowan Join Maisie Dobbs as she takes on a challenging case when she is hired by Mr. Waite, an august person who strives to control everything and everyone in his circle. He has met his match with Maisie who works in her own time and in her own way. She knows the value of letting fact, thoughts, observations, and feelings simmer whereas ‘Mr. Gungho' is full steam ahead. Jacqueline Winspear masterfully weaves mystery with history in this sequel. Readers are invited to solve who's behind 3 murders and how they are connected, while at the same time readers discover a well hidden piece from the past, The Order of the White Feather. Maisie is simultaneously searching for Mr. Waite's missing daughter, Charlotte Waite, and struggling to help bridge the growing chasm between her and her father, while also helping Billy overcome his precarious method of coping with his injured leg before it injures his family. (And we thought we had a full plate!) Inspector Stratton returns and readers learn that he is a widower with a young son. Dr. Dene, the witty and kind doctor that worked his way across the tracks, is eager to help our hard- working heroine. (Miss Dobbs doubtlessly has sparked their interest.) Join us in solving these murders before Inspector Stratton and company send the wrong guy up the river. What an amazing job Winspear does of showing both sides of the situation! In a male dominated profession, Maisie excels not by complaining and pointing out injustices, but by action. Actions that are well-thought out and executed with the precision of a surgeon. She plans her day and works toward that end but is not frazzled when a curve ball is thrown her way. We could learn much from Maisie! Let us slow down and strive to thrive and help others to do likewise. “May I not sit in judgment. May my decisions be for the good of all concerned. May my work bring peace.”  Maisie's silent prayer reminds me of the street sweeper quote by Martin Luther King,Jr. May we always do our best in the plethora of endeavors that lie before us.. Let mediocrity be ousted by excellence! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/recapbookchat/message

It's just after World War II, and Elinor White (born Elinor de Witt, which also means “white”), a single woman in her mid-forties, lives as a recluse in a village near Tunbridge Wells. One day in 1947, while on a walk, she encounters a recent arrival named Rose Mackie and is drawn to Rose's three-year-old daughter, Susie. When thugs from London threaten Rose and Susie, Elinor brushes off the skills she polished during the two world wars and, with the help of a former colleague who has risen through the ranks at Scotland Yard, sets out to discover exactly what the thugs have planned for Rose's husband, Jim. While trying to put a stop to it, she uncovers a web of intrigue and corruption that reaches to the very top of society. This story occurs alongside an exploration of Elinor's past, beginning with her girlhood in Belgium under German occupation during World War I and extending to her service as an intelligence agent against the Nazis twenty or so years later. Eventually the two threads of Elinor's history and present intersect, revealing the achievements and the regrets that drive her. In The White Lady (Harper, 2023), as in her Maisie Dobbs series, Winspear demonstrates a deep and multifaceted understanding of the effects of war on those forced to fight. Her books are thought-provoking, emotionally satisfying, and well worth your time. Jacqueline Winspear is the award-winning, bestselling author of seventeen Maisie Dobbs novels to date, as well as stand-alone novels such as The White Lady and several nonfiction works. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and three other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Storyteller, appeared in January 2023.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Jacqueline Winspear

In The Consequences of Fear, the 16th installment of Jacqueline Winspear’s addictive series featuring detective and frequent intelligence asset Maisie Dobbs, it’s October 1941: Europe has succumbed to Nazi occupation and the outcome of Maisie’s new case, involving a murder that a 12-year-old message-runner witnesses, has the potential to upend the British war effort  ...

Jacqueline Winspear talks about her memoir, This Time Next Year We’ll Be Laughing. After 16 novels, she has taken the bold step of turning to memoir, revealing the hardships and joys of her family history. Both shockingly frank and deftly restrained, her story tackles the difficult, poignant and fascinating family accounts of three generations --- her grandparents, her parents, and she and her brother. Winspear’s childhood was spent picking hops and fruit on farms in rural Kent, capturing her ties to the land and her dream of being a writer at its very inception. Jacqueline talks about this eye-opening and heartfelt portrayal of a post-War England we rarely see and how she pulled together these memories. She also discusses the experience of narrating the audiobook.

Has there been another title this fitting to the moment released this year?I doubt it. And how perfect that it was decided years in advance, as a favorite saying of Jacqueline's father's during the hard times after the second world war. Reading this memoir, and discussing it with Jacqueline, was a wonderful reminder that we can get through so much more than we think.As a fan of the Maisie Dobbs series, reading this memoir felt like a tour of the author's life, seeing all the events that inspired plot lines in her novels. It is satisfying to spy them as you read. But this is also an extraordinary story of a childhood that spanned huge changes in society and a family grappling with the world lurching ahead. It was the perfect read for this year.And once again, what a treat to speak to Jacqueline, a woman who dreamed of being a writer all her life, but didn't publish her first book until her forties- obviously that's a story after my own heart... happy listening!Visit this episode's show notes page here: https://www.secretlibrarypodcast.com/episodes/jacqueline-winspear-s3-ep9 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Murder mysteries: if you believe the clichés, they all happened in the 1920s and 1930s, surrounded by flappers and butlers.  But let’s take a second to wonder — why is it that detective fiction is so closely associated with this period style? Find more information about my guest Jacqueline Winspear and the Maisie Dobbs books …

Maisie Dobbs and Orlagh Cassidy have taken listeners through the aftermath of WWI and into The Blitz. In her fifteenth mystery, Maisie is facing grueling nights driving ambulances and working to save those bombed across London and the countryside, while also working as a private investigator. When a young American newscaster is killed in her own apartment — and not by a bomb — Scotland Yard puts Maisie on the case. Cassidy helps listeners hear Maisie’s utter exhaustion and grim determination and enlivens all the many characters from the UK and America. Cheer Maisie on as she unravels this latest mystery.

Maisie Dobbs has been a favorite character of mine for years. So when I found out that Jacqueline Winspear had TWO books coming out this March, I knew we had to have her on the show. I have been a dedicated reader of this brilliant series since the beginning, as this unconventional detective navigates life after WWI and now well into WWII. Jacqueline spoke very eloquently about the impact her family history has had on her writing this series and how this went from a single story and one book she wanted to write very quickly into a hit series. We dive into character development over the course of a series, and most importantly how to take care of yourself as an author while writing about difficult topics. I know you'll be motivated and uplifted as I was after speaking with Jacqueline, yet another author I've adored even more after the interview. Happy listening!

(Yes, the one they’ve talked so much about!)

Feel free to write to me at Paulaef@aol.com or on Ravelry as PrairiePiper. Complete show notes at www.knittingpipeline.com. We did buy that first house we looked at because I fell in love with the front door. I could not have goats there. I made a mistake when I told you last week about the way I do the selvedges instead of slipping the first stitch. See directions in the sidebar on this site. I read a note from SpringPeeper about her fondness for goats.  Asta wrote about gjetost. It is eaten in very thin slices and not combined with meat or much else other than perhaps a dab of lingonberry jam. Saturday morning I went on a Snowy Owl Expedition by myself. A snowy owl had been seen at Illinois Central College.  I took a walk later that day about sunset and I was looking up into the sky in a moment of complete reverie when I saw a white bird flapping its wings WAY UP HIGH. I am 90% certain it was a Snowy Owl but can’t be sure. Alone and warming his five wits, the white owl in the belfry sits.- Alfred, Lord Tennyson Spectra by Stephen West Began Gyllis by Stephen West but I frogged it. The way the pattern was written was too frustrating. OhSo Hat by Lee Bernstein Well-written pattern and wonderful for beginners.

Soap operas do not make a lasting impression, they do not have costumes like this or film in castles, and they do not have Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville.
