HELP! I NEED TO MAKE A CHOICE!
Many of you know
I’ve already written and published 13 books for adults and
children.
I’d love to write
another 13 but I’m well aware that time is against me. I hope I’ll
have time to write at least one more, but the difficulty right now is
that I need to choose between six plot ideas (for all of which I’ve
already written a few chapters). My books for children are the most
popular but I love writing for adults too.
These are the six.
Help me choose!
A) THE OTHER BOY
(for 10 years up). Identical twin boys separated at birth, unaware of
each other’s existence until 12 years later one sees a newspaper
photo of the other and sets out to find him. (This is my latest idea
and I’m slightly leaning towards it).
B) THE TRAVELLING
SWEETSHOP (9 years up). A magical sweetshop, advertising all you can
eat for 50p, suddenly appears on the route to school. My worry about
this one is that it might suggest the sweetshop owner is selling
drugs!
C) HIGH SCHOOL ROBOT
(13 years up). Another story based in Swindon but 30 years in the
future. A perfected robot, indistinguishable from a human teenager,
is the forerunner for a spy operation.
D) THE SECRET OF
COTTINGHAM HALL (Adults). A romance with a tragic secret.
E) BODY SHOP
(Adults). A rape/murder victim finds herself at the North West
Clearing Station, run jointly by representatives of Heaven and Hell
who compete for dead souls. The dead are allowed to rent a body and
return to Earth for two weeks, to seek revenge or forgiveness but
must give up their souls to Satan when they return.
F) A SNAPSHOT IN
TIME (13 years up). A teenage girl and a boy are separated by a
century but linked by a photograph.
HELP!!!
