What a fantastic Friday! I was on the radio, in the newspaper (click on the clipping to read!), on a blog, and high after the Sydney launch of my co-authored book for 8-14yrs “Into Tordon”<\/a> by Z.F. Kingbolt<\/a>. I still can’t believe that nine of us wrote it. Yes, nine! I’m so proud of each and every one of my co-authors. Over the last three years they have written, re-written, edited, plotted, re-plotted and emailed consistently with me over the creation and production of “Into Tordon”. Their honesty, commitment and willingness to evolve as writers and produce such a high quality adventure fantasy blows my mind. Yes, there were of course hurdles. But we pushed through together and came out smiling. Here we are at the Sydney launch of “Into Tordon” last night, along with some of our fans:<\/p>\n

Want to know more about how “Into Tordon” was created and those hurdles I mentioned? The wonderful Michelle Troxler from The Write Tribe<\/a> interviews me here<\/a>, asking questions such as how long it took to create “Into Tordon” with nine authors involved, what lead to its creation, how we came up with the name ‘Z.F. Kingbolt<\/a>‘, the challenges of collaborative writing, and advice for other collaborators.<\/p>\n
