Wolf brother – how did you get the idea?

Wolf brother – how did you get the idea?
Jeffrey Writes…

How did you think of the idea to make the book wolf brother and what inspired you to make this specific book series

Michelle Replies…

Dear Jeffrey, I think the idea for Wolf Brother goes back to when I was a child, and mad keen on wolves and the Stone Age.  I loved the idea of making clothes out of hide, and not going to school!  Later when I grew up, I was hiking in a forest in California and I had a very frightening encounter with a black bear.  And a few years after that, when I’d become an author, and was wondering what to write next, it all came together and I had the idea for Wolf Brother. It didn’t take me long to realise that Torak’s story needed more than one book, and I sketched out the rest of the series.  If you’d like to hear more, you could go to wolfbrother.com, click on Videos, and you’ll find one about the inspiration for the series.  With best wishes, Michelle
