Movie
Hale writes…
Please consider making a movie for wolf brother! It would explode in the industry. All ur other books would become hits as well once that took off. I've been reading ur books since I was 9 and I'm 27 now. I love it work and would love to see it on screen
Dear Hale, It’s great that you’ve enjoyed my books for so long! As for making a film of Wolf Brother, it’s not up to me, because it would be extremely expensive and I haven’t got millions to spare. In the past there have been film deals for the books, but (as mostly happens), these have petered out after a few years. So unless and until another film studio decides to film the story – and actually follows through with it – I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait and hope. And re-read the books, of course. Thanks for getting in touch, and may the guardian run with you… Best wishes, Michelle

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.
