How to describe the book I'm writing...
Okay... Um....
Let's try this...
Twelve-year-old Brandon Poole just knows he's going to hate spending the summer far away at a drama school housed in an ancient boarding school, right from the moment when his parents tell him. But almost as soon as he arrives, he uncovers a plot by the drama teachers to resurrect an ancient time, the Golden Era, where everything will be as they want and they can be the rulers of the world! However, the Golden Era's unstable power will result in the destruction of the world!
Learning that he needs to collect ancient artefacts and hold a ceremony to prevent the resurrection, Brandon enlists his new friends from the drama school to help him try and stop the teachers' quest, and at the same he's busy getting up to all the adventures of boarding school...
I suck
at summaries. But that's kind of the idea. Expect a great mystery
drama story, with big dollops of action-adventure, light comedy and
romance. The elements of the book dealing with the whole big drama-y
'stop the resurrection' thing are nicely balanced out with fun and
frolics at boarding school in summer. As I write this I'm about
22,000 words in and it's going brilliantly. I'm really connecting
with the story and the characters. If you want to associate it with a
TV series, I think House
of Anubis might
be a good one to think of it as being a bit like.
Oh...
Talking
of characters, the NEXT BLOG POST, coming soon, will be the first
batch of character profiles from Resurrection
of the Golden Era.
So, to find out all you need to know about Brandon Poole, Ellie Ward
and Ingrid Parker, check back on the blog sometime before the end of
the week.
