Great pictures of Molly's world. I'm wondering what kind of story you end up writing with the snakes! Also great interview with Robyn Opie. I'll see about checking out her writing courses.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you here again, Holly. The snakes do appear in one of Molly's books, so do the horses and the kangaroos. And you already know about Furble the bandicoot. The next molly book with be the one with the butcherbirds.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in and leaving a comment. I'll be adding another post tonight. I can't believe what I found when I had a game of golf today. A duck egg! Some duck must have laid it, then just left it lying on the grass. I've brought it home and I'm keeping it warm, who knows I might be able to hatch it.
I won't give it to Molly though; she might throw it at Angela Bloomfield.
Hi Trish,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great setting for a series of children's books. Molly sounds like a wonderful character.

Hi, Jeff. Great to see you here. That setting is the inspiration for my series. It’s where I live. Heaven on Earth.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know if you remember, but you’ve met Molly before; in the first book in the series. Back then, she had a rag doll called Jenny, a pram and a pet monster. She’s evolved. Now she has a bike, a fishing rod, filthy clothes, and swims in the river. She still collects wild animals though.
Thanks for visiting, Jeff.
