Children's Book Author Interview: Sam Osman | Quicksilver

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 20, 2010 -- Sam Osman who wrote the children's book Quicksilver is interviewed by Moss Green Children's books.


In the interview Sam explains the creative process of writing Quicksilver:

" I am a documentary maker and the idea for Quicksilver was born partly out of a TV series I worked on years ago called House Detectives, where a team of experts would trace the history of an ordinary home as far back in time as they could. On one occasion, they discovered that the fences around one house and garden actually defined a bronze age boundary. That got me thinking about the ancient worlds that lie beneath even the most ordinary of places. So the premise of my book is that the common in a very ordinary London suburb is in fact the site of a lost stone circle."

Sam wishes that when she started writing children’s books she had known to:

"Always carry a notebook around with you and write down anything that pops into your head – a piece of plot, a snatch of conversation, a strange sight, it’s amazing how useful those notes can be and how easy it is to forget them if you don’t write them down."
