@NP_author Fascinating 🥰 love that it’s so connected to your family history
English
In Dream Hunters, my father’s home town Songadh became a fictional village called Songra, the gateway to the Citadel where the dream hunters live. That too inspired by my father and a long abandoned fort that sits above the town
English
Holding a book in your hands - one you’ve written. Dream Hunters had just gone to print when my father became unwell. Lovely @michellemisra @arubUnwritten and the team at @simonkids_UK rushed me a printed copy so I could show him. It was so special being able to show it to him
