SPRITE MAGIC – NATIONAL CENTRE FOR WRITING

Nine words. That’s all I wrote in my diary at 1.30am on 21st January 2007.

Four girls with magic power. East. South. West. North.

I had my characters, Flame, Marina, Ash and Ariel, with their magic powers of Fire, Water, Earth & Air.

I am delighted to announce the publication of the second Sprite Sister prequel Vier zauberhafte Schwestern – Wie alles begann: Marina und die Kraft des Wassers.

Marina’s Story is the second title in the WIE ALLES BEGANN series published by FISCHER KJB. Aimed at younger readers, the stories can be read as ‘stand-alone titles’ or as part of the series.

The third prequel, Ash’s Story, will be published in Germany in the Autumn 2018. The fourth prequel story, The Sprite Sisters’ Christmas Adventure will be published in the Autumn 2019.

I am delighted to announce the publication of Vier zauberhafte Schwestern und die unsichtbare Gefahr – the tenth Sprite Sisters’ title.

As with all Fischer Verlag’s books, it looks beautiful. I love the sparkling jacket and the wonderful illustrations throughout the book. As and when it is published in the UK, the story will be known as ‘The Power of Four.’

I have now written ten Sprite Sister stories in the main series, along with three prequels. That’s thirteen books and I will probably stop there. But we will see!
