Or, perhaps, Moreling? Perhaps not.
Either way, it seems I sufficiently impressed the powers that be at Random House Children's Books to land myself more work in this series of novelisations for the BBC's Merlin.
We writers have to earn our bread somehow, and if this keeps up I may even be able to stretch to a French loaf. Of course, I'm not at liberty to say anything more about future books at this stage, but in the meantime, the first book in the series, The Dragon's Call, due for release this September, is available for pre-order on Amazon. As is my other contribution so far, The Poisoned Chalice, due for release in November.
Obviously, the thing to do is to buy them and impress upon the publishing world that folks will buy books just because Simon Forward had a hand in writing them. :-)

About Me
- SAF
- Born in Penzance in 1967. From the age of about three I was probably dreaming of writing for Doctor Who. Certainly it wasn't a case of just watching it: I'd go to bed with all sorts of adventures and story possibilities buzzing around in my head. From the age of eleven, I knew, whenever any aunts and uncles asked the "What do you want to do when you grow up?" question, the stock replies of jet pilot, train driver, astronaut were never going to be good enough for me. "I want to be a writer", I always said. And, what do you know, I am.

This is good. I've only ever caught a few minutes of the series, mind, but I'm sure you're filleting and tweaking it well.
One day these may well be looked back on like some of those 70s Targets, adaptations that outshine the source.
Cheers, Ian! That's me, a filleter and a tweaker. :-)
You know full well you're also a buffer and invisible mender.
I just didn't want to swell your head with talk of prose style and plotting.
surely it would stretch to a bowl of gruel and a french loaf?
Good thinking, Ian. You know it was my head blocking out the sun across Asia yesterday, right? :-)
that was I, Phillipa, musing on gruel. I keep getting confused as to which thingy to click. I made space in my mind for HTML by throeing out blog commenting protocol
:-) I thought you had all this internet stuff mastered, Phillipa.
well I fooled you! Ha! I'm hanging off the learning curve with a rope and harness, my ice axe lodge somewhere above me
Congratulations!!! You impressed them because you're an impessive writer.
Very kind of you to say so, Elaine. Although I do know you're biased ;-)
