Children's Book Author Interview | Siân Pattenden | Paris Match

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 28, 2010 -- In answer to the question please tell us about the inspiration and creative process behind Agatha Bilke and Paris Match Siân Pattenden replied:

"– With Agatha Bilke I wanted to write about someone who was fairly anarchic - but more than that, someone who just dreadful. I thought this would be even better if it was a girl character – so that boy and girl readers would revel the naughtiness. The other characters in the first Agatha Bilke book are odd, but very nice, so it should balance it out. Paris Match was written when I was remembered the French exchanges some of my friends had to endure while we were at school. I thought it was a good starting point, and I wanted to set the book abroad, so it was the perfect excuse."

Siân wishes that she had known before she had started writing children’s books that:

"a) That the easy bits get harder and the difficult bits stay extra difficult.
b) Never underestimate the huge amount of chocolate it takes to get a really good chapter going."
