And a big thank you to Fiona for sharing with us an insight into writing for children. <br /><br />Fiona has donated a free copy of her book and using the random number generator, The International Mom (Judy), was chosen! So Judy, as soon as I can bundle my two little ones up and make it to the post office, I will get your free book in the mail to you!

To answer your questions:<br />Dot, the next destination is actually Britain (England and then Scotland) because the quest for the second Stone of Power takes the boys into the realms of King Arthur and the history of Dark Ages Britain (lots of medieval mystery here). Of course the marvellous sword Excalibur features strongly. Then the next adventure is in South America which is going to be wonderful! I have done lots of research ... now I just need to go there!<br />Mary Jo: in my opinion, the difference in writing for adults depends on what genre you choose. I have written two historical romances set in the Regency period. They sound and feel (of course) completely different, really just Regency 'romps.' Strangely enough, I felt they were just 'fun' whereas I find my children's books are more weighty, even though there is a lot of fun and humor in the books.Fiona Ingramhttp://www.fionaingram.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666920416247667344.post-81326344793609132542009-11-09T21:18:07.167-05:002009-11-09T21:18:07.167-05:00Hi Fiona!

Since you're appearing on my writelikeCRAZY blog tomorrow, I've already asked several questions, but just thought of another: do you also write for adults, and if so, how does the writing process differ when writing for children?<br />: ) Mary JoMary Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729559222307081988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666920416247667344.post-64609184587471930012009-11-09T18:36:36.437-05:002009-11-09T18:36:36.437-05:00Great interview!

My kids are still little, but I want them to grow up viewing the world as accessible...that they can go anywhere and see anything they want. Thanks for promoting that idea! :-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148164757596055733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666920416247667344.post-80409129401692304362009-11-09T16:59:34.709-05:002009-11-09T16:59:34.709-05:00This books sounds perfect for my 7 year old. he l...This books sounds perfect for my 7 year old. he loves learning about different places and we have traveled extensively across Europe but were never able to go to Egypt.<br />This book would help him to see the wonderful sights even if it's only in his imagination!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342109839956458589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666920416247667344.post-69038840458351600052009-11-09T15:51:18.418-05:002009-11-09T15:51:18.418-05:00Fiona, this book sounds wonderful.

I hope my fans will enoy the other fascinating destinations I have planned in the series.<br />Andrea, you might like to take a look at The Chronicles of the Stone website www.chroniclesofthestone.com. There is a very beautiful antique map of the world and it is used to plot the chart of the boys' adventures as they happen around the globe.Fiona Ingramhttp://fionaingram.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666920416247667344.post-39877586286345844482009-11-09T08:36:38.398-05:002009-11-09T08:36:38.398-05:00Wow!

My eight-year-old son loves mysteries (he's a big Hardy Boys fan) and I love Ancient Egypt; it sounds like the perfect book for us to read together.

This weekend I was at a Reading Festival and at one point the children were asked to draw a picture of somewhere they would like to visit. I think 90% of the drawings were Disney World. I hope your series opens up their eyes to the real world as a destination.Jodi Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767881992168261164noreply@blogger.com
