Hello, my name is Andrew foster & I absolutely love your books. I read wolf brother in 4th grade and was hooked ever since. I’m 29 now and still reading them but now I get to read them to my own 2 sons. The way you make it easy for the reader to picture what they’re reading is incredible. I just wanted to thank you and express to you how much your books impacted my life. They brought me into a different world that I could get lost into for a few hours and Put the real world to the side. I think everyone could use that from time to time. Thank you for your amazing writing and I hope you know your books changed my life and I could never thank you enough

Dear Andrew, What a marvellous message for a writer to receive! I’m really pleased that you have found it easy to be able to picture what’s happening in my stories – not least because that’s not an easy thing to achieve when one is writing, and it has always taken me dozens of drafts. I also find it particularly moving that you are now (or perhaps will be soon) reading the stories to your own sons. Somehow that puts me in mind of Fin-Kedinn telling the clan stories around the long-fire.
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to get in touch. With very best wishes, Michelle

Successfully published as an adult author, the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness (“Wolf Brother”) were her first books for younger readers, followed by her brilliant 5-part series set in the bronze age, Gods and Warriors. On the adult side, her first ghost story, Dark Matter, was a UK bestseller and won massive praise from reviewers and readers alike, as did her second ghost story, Thin Air.
