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.




Interview

What is the hardest part of writing your books?
I would say that the hardest 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.

 

What songs are most played on your Ipod?

I am an ex professional musician (guitarist/ producer) so my tastes are quite eclectic.
This is actually a really tough question for me, as it is very hard to pin down the songs that are most played because music is such a big part of my life, and it can vary day to day.
My Spotify is constantly on and the playlists that I listen to the most would include artists such as:
Jimi Hendrix
Smashing Pumpkins
The Beatles
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Led Zeppelin
Happy Mondays
De La Soul
Roxy Music
INXS
to name a few…..

Do you have critique partners or beta readers?

No, but I always use copy editors and proofreaders.

 

What book are you reading now?

The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

 

How did you start your writing career?

I created the Magster stories after constant dreams about my pet Cockapoo, Maggie, whom I was forced to be parted from, due to a break up in a relationship. I was writing a mystery/ thriller novel at the time but decided to shelve that and concentrate on the Magster series, due to the fact that I was getting so much more creative inspiration from these stories and I also had an overwhelming feeling that the Magster stories were the books that I should be writing and bringing to release.

 

Tell us about your next release.
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).
