I started writing stories at 7 or 8 - my parents started me off

Zagafeur- I woz wondering if you're ever going to bring in a love interest for Artemis in book 4, because he'll be at the sort of age when you start noticing the opposite sex soon...
Hello again I think Artemis is safe from romance for a few more books The movie is supposed to be shooting this year. I hope. I would love a cameo. Many of the characters in my books are based on real people - but don't tell them.

Vandal- Why did you call Artemis Artemis? Does it mean anything?
Artemis is a Greek name- it means the hunter.
