Magster the Cockapoo and her human daddy, Paul, go for a walk in the woods. A mysterious stranger recruits her as a special agent for the Mystic Council of Mages. Her first mission is to protect the “Light of the Ladybird” and so their adventures begin. After a nail-biting duel, Magster’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with is sealed; her work for the Mystic Council of Mages has only just begun.
Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp?
Yes,
there is definitely a message in my books that I want readers to grasp and it
comes from Magster and the Light of the Ladybird, the first book….
“ It does not matter how big or small you are. If you have courage, focus and
good friends there to help you, you can accomplish anything”.
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
I would
say that the most challenging part of writing the Magster Series is that I have
such a rich universe of characters to call on and therefore, so many options
for potential plot changes in front of me. So, I can suffer with what I believe
Albert Einstein called, “Option Paralysis”
That is
when is when you have so many ideas and options available to you, that you
sometimes come to a standstill, in choosing which way to go.
How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
I have written 3 complete books, so far (2 are
still in editing stages), but my favourite is Magster and the Magic Beat, which
is yet to be published.
If You had the chance to cast your main character from
I would love Magster to be a Hollywood star,
however, she would have to be a cartoon character or CGI created. I do not know
any real-life Cockapoos, who could fit the bill.
As regards a vocal actor to play the part of Magster in an animation, I would pick
Millie Bobby Brown.
When did you begin writing?
I started
writing at a very early age but not in any professional capacity. I have been
writing little pieces and stories since I was 15 but just for the love of it. I
started writing Magster in 2018.
How long did it take to complete your first book?
9 months
in total with numerous drafts, copy editing and proof reading.
Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?
That is a tough question because I am influenced
by so many authors and so many genres.
To name a
few:
J. R. R Tolkien, Stephen King, Beatrix Potter, C.S Lewis, A.A Milne, Carlos Ruiz
Zafon
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
Writing.
Describe your latest book in 4 words.
Courage,
Friendship, Perseverance, Love
Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the
future for your writing?
Absolutely, so, the next book is called Magster and the Shoal of
Gold (Part 1). I am splitting the next part of the adventure into 2 parts
because Book 2, as a whole, would be so much bigger than all the rest and it is
my aim to present the Magster series in a nice, even looking box set, of at
least 6 books.
Shoal of Gold (Part 1) will have my readers being properly introduced to
the Mystic Council of Mages and how they work, who they are and also, I will be
introducing a lot more characters into the mix, so that will take up a lot of
text, hence the split in the story.
What I can tell you about Part 1 is that Magster is summoned to a very
important and secret meeting at the Mystic Council’s HQ. She will learn more about
and meet her new friends and will then travel to a very large body of water in
the UK, to face another dangerous and magical mission in Magster and the Shoal
of Gold (Part 2).
