Why I wrote this book:

This was my second book to follow the enjoyment I had from writing my first. I wanted to demonstrate how strong and important friendship could be through three friends who are different but work together in a dangerous situation. I wanted to create a different world and use my imagination to create an unpredictable story and to explore an alternative reality. Again, when I was younger I used to look around the school playground and wonder on what was outside the school and the fields all around. So exploring ideas made me come to the idea of a whole alternative reality world of school.

Tony lives an everyday life and lives with his parents in a relatively straight forward life. One day however he finds himself not only outside of his home, outside his street, outside his country; but he finds himself outside his universe! Tony is absorbed through a lamppost outside his house into a different universe and faces extremely dangerous challenges to get out of that universe and back home. It will take all his courage on this quest.

 

 

 

Why I wrote this book:

This was my first book and what an experience it was to write. I decided to start with a children’s fiction fantasy story as I always enjoyed those type of stories when I was younger and I wanted to create an imaginary world. The idea of a lamppost came from my childhood where as a young boy frequently I would often look at the lamppost outside my house and wonder if it was ever going to absorb me into it. I had quite a strange few dreams of that happening! Many years later I have focused a story on this.
