They say nothing for a while, just staring at the moon, ancient, as old as time, and unknowable. Mysterious. Powerful.He looks at everything he has brought with him, spread on the bed, and he comes to the conclusion that someone has taken his charger away in the night. With both your publisher and author hat on, what advice can you give would-be children's authors in getting published? This grittily provocative debut explores the horrors of self-harm and the healing power of artistic expression. Sure, there have been rumors and whispers about Blessed Island, but no concrete evidence or firsthand accounts—nothing on the Net at all. It's very strange.

Could I ...?" We’re hoping to adapt My Swordhand is Singing into an immersive theatre production. So I’ve just started working on the adaptation of that – I’ve been planning that for a little while and I want to make it really cool and genuinely very scary. And I’m co-writing a screenplay with my brother. And, oh yes, a new series to replace The Raven Mysteries, but in that same kind of age and silliness. And then starting to work on new longer novel, too. And it all has to be done yesterday!Reminiscent of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas . . . stark, suspenseful writing.”— School Library Journal Marcus has been shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal five times, the Edgar Allan Poe Award (twice) and the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize (four times).

Throughout his various lives, Eric is usually associated with the same things. For starters, there's his name, which we're told means "the one king" and "forever strong" (6.6.25). Yup, that definitely fits with a guy who just keeps living and living. Just the rumors. But then, that's all anyone knows, and that, after all, is the whole point of his trip, to find out something about the island.

In 1944, a World War II fighter pilot named David crash lands on Blessed Island. He is discovered by a farmer named Erik, who cares for him, but dislikes having a soldier around—war just leaves a bad taste in Erik's mouth. But Erik changes his attitude toward David when he sees a picture of the airman's twelve-year-old daughter, Merle. You can probably guess why. Later, when enemy soldiers come to Blessed Island to hunt down David, Erik helps him escape to the mainland, but is killed in the process. Too bad. So sad.I love music, both listening to it and playing it (I'm a drummer). A day without music is not a proper day... I also love travel and try to travel as much as I can manage. The Ghosts of Heaven: A Printz Honor Book! Timeless, beautiful, and haunting, spirals connect four episodes, from prehistory through the far future. He has been on Blessed for several hours. He has met a few people, and seen many more. But he has not seen a single child. It's all very mysterious. In fact, that's the point of this trip; it's why Eric's editor gave him this assignment.
