New Book and TV Series
Samuel writes…
Hello, I just want to say I love your book series the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. Will there ever be a new book and have you got any update in a potential TV series
Dear Samuel, I’m delighted that you like the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness! As regards film and/or tv, I’m afraid that’s all gone quiet, so don’t hold your breath (if there’s anything to report, I’ll post it on my website). But as regards a new book, I’m not sure whether you know that after I finished the sixth book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness (Ghost Hunter), I took a few years away from Torak’s world, and then began to miss it – so a few years ago I wrote three more: Viper’s Daughter, Skin Taker, and Wolf Bane. If you haven’t yet caught up with them, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! With very best wishes, Michelle
