Your newest novel <em>The Good Thieves<\/em> features circus performers. How did you research the characters?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The Good Thieves<\/em> was one of my favourite novels to research \u2013 it&#8217;s about heists and law-breaking and wild daring, and the circus becomes part<br>of the crime. The four children in the group that carry out the heist are an animal-whisperer, a pick-pocket, a trapeze artist, and a girl with a<br>plan. I took lessons in the flying trapeze, so that I would know the details \u2013 things like which bits of you ache, or how the bar feels against your skin. And I can tell you it is the most amazing sensation \u2013 dropping through the air, and reaching out for someone&#8217;s hands as you fall. I loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Wowee! Each book you\u2019ve written is set in a totally different location. Do you always spend time in a place before writing about it?&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I do! I went to the Amazon rainforest, and swam in the tributaries of the Amazon river with pink wild river dolphins for <em>The Explorer<\/em> \u2013 and I&#8217;ve spent quite a lot of time in New York for <em>The Good Thieves<\/em>, searching for<br>its strangest and most beautiful spots \u2013 like the New York City Library, with the stone lions outside its front steps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">As someone who usually travels a lot how have you been finding lockdown?&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lockdown has been hard, but I have real faith that it won&#8217;t last forever \u2013 and that, perhaps, we might be able to snatch some good from it, and learn new ways of treating the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Where are you most looking forward to visiting once travel restrictions ease?&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The place I miss most is Zimbabwe, where I spent part of my childhood, and where my parents live. As soon as I can, I would love to be back there, among the bougainvillea flowers, lizards and huge skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">We\u2019ve heard that you start each day by doing a cartwheel! Is this true?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Ha! That <em>was<\/em> true, yes, but a long time ago. I now live in such a tiny flat that if I did a cartwheel I&#8217;d hit the wall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Why did you do it?!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It was a way of waking up \u2013 once you&#8217;ve turned upside-down, you&#8217;re unlikely to want to climb back into bed!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Haha, great idea! You&#8217;re judging a new writing competition (below)! What will you be looking for?&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I love writing that really captures the voice of the person writing \u2013 we all think differently, which is a spectacular and important thing, and so it makes sense that we would all use language differently. So be yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Travel the world in&nbsp;four brilliant books!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Katherine\u2019s characters go on incredible adventures all over the world.
