I am delighted
to be working with Hasko Starrenburg
again, the author of Steel City
and City of Sports. Last year I
worked with him on two amazing books
that he is currently taking through the
publication process.
One of those
books, The Queen's Orb (working
title), is a beautiful children's novel
set in a world full of surprises. At its
heart are two plucky kids—two
more great examples of Hasko's wonderful
characterisation.
The second of those books, Salome: An
Invitation to the Dance
(working title),
is very different to Hasko's previous
work. There are no magical worlds in
this book. Rather, in this book Hasko
weaves mystery and history together to
form a fascinating read.
The manuscript that I am currently
editing for him is set in ancient Egypt.
More I shall not say, apart from the
fact that it gripped me from the very
moment I picked it up.
I
feel so privileged to be able to work on
these wonderful books with Hasko. How
lucky and I that work and pleasure can
be one and the same thing? |
