- Sarah Pinborough would love to do some things to Philippe (wouldn't we all? Shhh! We won't tell Ysabeau!)
- Deb's writing again. . .
- Libraries are quite important to her!
- The sense that London contains layers of history beyond every corner!
Here are some other interesting links from Deb's tweets (@DebHarkness on Twitter) today:

It was fun for us to gleen new little tidbits about the series we love! We felt like we were there! Tomorrow, Deb goes to Bristol!
Thanks to Caitlin Raynor, Ella Bowman, Cait Lomas, and Cara Fielder for live-tweeting today. A big "thank you" to Sarah Pinborough for chairing the event!

P.S. Here is a really cool video that will give you an impression of some of the things that inspire her (via Deborah Harkness on Facebook):
"Imagining London: a video. Tonight we launch the UK paperback tour here in London. Sadly not everyone can join me in conversation with V E Schwab and Sarah Pinborough as we talk about this wonderful city and how it inspires our fiction. For those who can't be there, I took this video for you!
Imagining what London was like in 1590/1591 when Diana and Matthew were there involved not only thinking about what it looked like but what it smelled like, felt like, and sounded like. While I was walking around town on Sunday, the wind kicked up just as it did on the day Diana arrived in the Blackfriars.
I heard a sound--something I had imagined but not yet heard. Looking up, I saw a boot sign hanging in the breeze. The shop has been there a long time. Both Matthew and Marcus would have bought boots here in the 18th century as it was between Marcus's house in St James and Matthew's house in Mayfair. The sign creaked and flapped, making a sound that once would have been magnified hundreds of times across London at every shop.
This video captures just a whisper of that long lost sound of a London we can now visit only in our imaginations."
