A BIT ABOUT CHRISTOPHER AND CHRISTINE
Christopher has been writing since he could hold a pencil. But nobody paid him then.
When he grew up he discovered that sometimes, if he was very lucky, people would pay him to write for radio and television. So he wrote lots of episodes for series like The Bill, A Touch of Frost and Midsomer Murders. Yes...he was heavily into crime!
He wrote for schools' television too and is amazed that people still remember a series called Look and Read and a story called Through the Dragon's Eye.
After many years of writing for television - he's quite ancient - he decided to have a go at writing books too. He wrote four adventure stories for children, all with an historical background. Now he's trying stories with an hysterical background. And that's Christine's fault.
So far, Christine had helped with ideas and editing. (that means she told Christopher when she thought he'd written something brilliant or when she thought he'd written a load of old rubbish). But then she got the idea for THE QUEST OF THE WARRIOR SHEEP and thought it would be fun to actually write it together.
So between us we wrote the first story about these baaarmy sheep. Then we wrote a second, in which we send them West to America.
And now we're writing a third. This time they're going Down Under, so watch out for Bungee jumping sheep!
