I read personal accounts of some earlier journeys that people had made in airships, including one by a girl who flew from Germany to South America. She was even taken into the gondola to see how it operated. It sounded like a lovely way to travel! A: I am not doing animation at the moment as authoring is keeping me busy! The thing I enjoy most about the job is creating stories and characters and bringing them to life. Most of all I want people to be drawn into the adventures and, as the series progresses, gradually feel like the characters are old friends. A: I love revisiting the world, yes, because it means I can find out more about it and the characters. As long as there are new places to take them and new mysteries to solve it will always be interesting.

So my advice is, never throw anything away. (In terms of writing I mean. Obviously in real life throw some things away - you don't want to be drowning in stuff!)

A: I'm not a natural engineer but I did need to know how airships operated for the story so I did some research into how they were engineered. I discovered that there are places in America today where they are trying to build modern versions of the old airships for military contracts.

A: There is an theme park in France called Les Machines De L'Ile where they have all kinds of mechanical animals to ride on. I went there when I was researching the books. Skycircus is the welcome third story in Peter Bunzl’s wonderful Cogheart series of fantasy adventures for thrill-seeking readers. Q: There is a mystery at the heart of the novel, the box that Lily discovers and which the villains want. Why do you make this the driver of the story?A: Either at my desk in the sitting room or I go to one of the libraries like the British Library or the local one to do edits because it's quieter there, or a cafe if I want somewhere a bit noisier. A: I would like to take a trip on Ladybird, which is Anna Quinn's airship. I think she would be a fun pilot to travel with and I love the idea of a small and comfy dirigible - a bit like a caravan or barge - that flies about here and there.

When 13 year old Lily's inventor father is presumed dead in an air crash, she is sent to live with her authoritarian governess. But her father had a secret, kept in small box, that others will do anything to get hold of.

Initially dated March 1, 2018; Brightstorm, by Englishwoman Vashti Hardy, is her first book in the Brightstorm series. Brightstorm is named after the shared surname of its protagonists, namely Arthur Brighstorm and Maudie Brightstorm; the aforementioned orphaned twins prove their mettle during the death investigation of their posthumously disgraced father Ernest Brightstorm who perished during an ill-fated polar exploration amid alleged conflict of interest. Angelique has been fitted with mechanical wings so she can fly, while Luca the Lobster Boy has beenLily has been fitted with it, but what her father has done is highly illegal, and Lily’s secret must never be revealed.

Accompanied by her two human friends, Robert and Tolley, and her mechanical fox, Lily visits Slimwood’s High Top. But the experience is far from fun. Q: What would be your favourite day off spent in (contemporary) London? Where would you go, what would you see?Skycircus is propelled along by a pulse-pounding plot, though this time the thrills are more adventure- than mysterydriven. Bunzl’s steampunk world is ever threatening and gripping, and his characters, A: I do have one more adventure currently planned for Lily, Robert and Malkin. I can't really say anything about it at the moment because it's top secret. But maybe there's a little clue to something that happens in the story in the answer about where I would travel in an airship.
