Kids can be crazy over authors, y'know. Was there for the queue when the 'dark and stout' Russell Lee gave book signing. <BR/><BR/>Please give other children's book authors a run for their money, ok?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29497206.post-1157942797191864092006-09-10T19:46:00.000-07:002006-09-10T19:46:00.000-07:00Xeus, sounds interesting.

If you can write the 1st draft of Dark City in two months, you can write 3 chapters in 3 days.

Remember Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl? And Darren Shan is actually quite dark. And people really go for Charmed and Narnia. <BR/><BR/>Actually my children's book is pretty dark too. <BR/><BR/>If you would like to read the first 3 chapters, I can send them to you for your opinion. Just send me your email. Just keep in mind it's a work in progress, has not been edited yet but the first 3 chapters has to be hastily assembled for a publisher.Artemis Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02709181610684269889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29497206.post-1157892869550866922006-09-10T05:54:00.000-07:002006-09-10T05:54:00.000-07:00If only you had the talk a little later in the day...If only you had the talk a little later in the day then perhaps I'll be able to make it. The time clashed with my extra classes. :(<BR/><BR/>It's definitely the kind of stuff my nephew would like to read. He likes to imagine himself with al sorts of powers that will protect his family - a different power every other day!<BR/><BR/>I must kowtow to you. I finally made it through Chapter 2 of my own young adult fiction...it's not much geared towards children due to the dark themes I'll be exploring. Mine is more in the lines of <I>Charmed</I> meets <I>The Secret Seven</I> meets <I>The Chronicles of Narnia</I>.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'm actually gonna be quite looking forward to your book, even if it's a children's book because you could be Malaysia's own Stephen King! From stories of horror and the macabre to writing children's fiction! That's really something!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
