edit data

I'm a children's writer from Cheshire in England. 'The Time Hunters' is my first novel. The series continues with 'The Time Hunters and the Box of Eternity', 'The Time Hunters and the Spear of Fate', 'The Time Hunters and the Sword of Ages' and 'The Time Hunters and the Lost City'.

I have also completed two non-Time Hunters novels - 'The Night they Nicked Saint Nick' and 'Bernard and the Bibble.'

I am currently working on the first book in another series for children - 'Zak Fisher and the Angel Prophecy'.

I like alternative music, Marvel comics, Naan breads and coriander. I am rubbish at fixing stuff.

“I deem more wars have been fought in the name of God than any other cause … that and the folly of fool-born rich men. And therein lies the truth of warfare - the rich do the talking … the poor do the dying.”

Hi Hales,

Thanks for your message. TH3 is going quite well, but it's a long slog. It'll be a longer book than the others - not 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' longer but still 5000 - 10000 words longer. Sadly, I am going to have to disappoint you. Much as I love Will, this is just not his book. Book 4 - 'The Time Hunters and the Sword of Ages' is all about him. In fact, he and Joe are perhaps the two most significant characters in that book. But not number three. He does have a few 'Will' moments, but this next book is really about ... er, I'm not going to tell you. You'll just have to wait :)

Hi Carl, I hope the third Time Hunters book is going well. I am really looking forward to reading it. Hoping there's more of Will's history in there. He's my favourite character. I wouldn't have found your books if not for Goodreads. And now I am telling my friends and family to read them too.
