Conall writes…
Hi Michelle, I first started reading the chronicles of ancient darkness when I was 8, I am now 22 and still love them. I’ve seen some comments about taking the books to the screen and was wandering if along side a tv series or box set of films, I was wandering if there might be any scope for a video game on consoles or pc. Or if that has been considered yet.
P.s
I loved the recent Percy Jackson tv series (I know you didn’t write them) but I feel like that team could do your books justice if you were able to persuade them to take up the project.

Dear Conall, it sounds as if you were one of my younger readers, if you started at eight! And I’m delighted that you still love the books. At the moment, things are quiet on the tv and/or film front, and so far no one has tried to develop Wolf Brother into a video game. This is just how things go (there are fashions in film, as in everything else) – but the more important thing is that you still love the stories. Thanks so much for getting in touch. With very best wishes, Michelle

Yeovil Literary Festival
An experience like no other. From a writer like no other...
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.
