@jacquiS21 Book 2 is already written, but I’d get into big trouble if I started sending it out😉. Polly gets a much bigger role next time.

Ended my Summer holiday with a final trip to Eerie-on-Sea. Can't recommend this series enough. Loved every single one. Thinking I'll read Malamander to my new class. @ThomasHTaylor

[Thomas Taylor @ThomasHTaylor]

@MrBakerReads Ah! If you do, please give your class my eeriest best wishes.

One of my students, who is a reluctant reader, is thoroughly enjoying Malamander at the moment; she is really enjoying putting on the characters’ voices & acting it out.

She would be delighted if you could answer some questions. See below:

@anoara_a Thanks for these great questions. Happy reading! 😸🧜🏻✨

[Thomas Taylor @ThomasHTaylor]

@anoara_a Jenny Hanniver has a Scottish accent because that’s how I first imagined her. I like to stay true to way my characters first appeared in my imagination.

[Thomas Taylor @ThomasHTaylor]

@anoara_a Lady Kraken is based on my old landlady, when I was at university. And Herbie is based on… me!

[Thomas Taylor @ThomasHTaylor]

@anoara_a Sebastian Eels licks his teeth because it’s creepy. Like a predator preparing for his prey🫣

[Thomas Taylor @ThomasHTaylor]

@anoara_a 12 is a great age for characters in a middle grade mystery, because 12 year olds are smart and know things, but aren’t yet bothered by adolescent issues.😬😉

[Thomas Taylor @ThomasHTaylor]

@anoara_a My family have always called sherbert lemon sweets ‘Herbert Lemons’, so I had a name waiting for a story. I just needed to find another kind of sweet to give me a girl’s name. Do you know what it is?😉

[Thomas Taylor @ThomasHTaylor]

@anoara_a Hello! Great to hear from you. I’m not here much, so I have only just seen this. But I will happily answer these questions…
