About the Author
Linda Chapman learned to ride when she was three. Her first pony was Swizzle, a stubborn Welsh Mountain pony who she used to imagine was a unicorn. Unfortunately, Swizzle behaved nothing like the Twilight of her stories!
Linda Chapman is best known for her series: My Secret Unicorn, books full of secrets, magic and of course a mythical creature, the unicorn. She then turned to acting and dreams and wrote Bright Lights, a book about a girl who longs to be a film actress, a Ballet Shoes for the 21st century.
When Linda is not writing she trains dogs and teaches drama – and of course rides whenever she can.The stories are fast and strong and the stuff that dreams are made of. Linda wrote her first book, a pony story, when she was thirteen but was first published in 1999 when she was thirty. There are six books in the My Secret Unicorn series, followed by two books about the stage: Bright Lights and Centre Stage. Linda has now started a new series of books about friendship and family relationships in which she weaves fantasy into everyday life – the first title is Stardust: Magic by Moonlight.
WHAT SHE SAYS...
"My ideas come mainly from my imagination and from things that have happened to me."
"There are books I loved when I was a child that have special memories for me because I read them so many times – particularly pony stories by the Pullein-Thompson sisters, Walter Farley's Black Stallion, Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Mystery series' and Gwynedd Rae's series about a bear called Mary Plain. There are also books that I have read more recently that I just love like Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials Trilogy and Cate Tiernan's Wicca series."
Linda's advice to would-be writers: "Write lots – writing is a skill the more you write the better you get – write ideas down whenever you have them and don't waste time tidying your desk or thinking about the title, just get writing!"
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT LINDA CHAPMAN...
About My Secret Unicorn: "A wonderful series about Lauren and Twilight, all beautifully written and charmingly illustrated throughout. Perfect for young misses."
Liverpool Echo
"For a child going through pony passion, My Secret Unicorn, The Magic Spell is a marvelous read... Our seven-year-old devoured this book at one sitting and now wants the sequel."
