Something that's always intrigued and fascinated me was the story of Arthur and Guinevere (or Gwenhwyfar as she's known in Wales). He was an old man, she a young woman, and that fact alone contributed so much to the tragedy of their lives. So when I grew up and became a writer, I decided to write a series of books with the Arthurian story as a background~ and Merlin as a main character because I love (and believe in) magic.
The series begins for readers aged 7-10 with three books "Gwydion and the Flying Wand"; "Magic Maldwyn" and "Betsan the Brave". It continues for children aged 10-15 with "The Magic Apostrophe"; "The Island of Summer" and "Dragonson". Then, for 13-16 year olds (and many much older ~ you'd be amazed at the fan letters I get!) "Who Me?"; Me and My Big Mouth!" and "Dragons and Decisions". Then comes, for 13-16 again, "Nobody Asked Me!", in which the protagonist, Tanith, mistakenly arrives in Camelot. The next two books, "What Part of No Don't You Understand?" and "Tree of Light" complete the series. I've loved writing them ~ and I know people like reading them.
Those aren't the only books, either ~ there are many, many more.
