chronicles of ancient darkness series: the books of my childhood
faye writes…
Hi Michelle! I grew up reading your books from the age of eight to now eighteen and the wolf brother series is hands down one of the best i have ever read. I've always loved the idea of toraks world being adapted to a TV show, and I know there was a cancellation a couple years ago, but do you ever think an adaptation would be possible in the future? These books were my childhood, and I would love for the magic to carry to non book readers as well – they should all know Torak, Renn and Wolf!!
Dear Faye, it’s marvellous to hear that the stories saw you all the way into adulthood, and I love your phrase “the books of my childhood”. As for any tv adaptation, I’m afraid your information is up to date: at the moment, it’s not on the cards. If that chances, of course I’ll post the news on my website. In the meantime, thanks for getting in touch – and may the guardian hunt with you! Best wishes, Michelle
