Sascha Martin's Time Machine: The Storyboard Develops
Well we're certainly storyboarding in earnest now for Sascha Martin's Time Machine. The files are flying back and forth between Sydney and Sant'Antioco.
As destruction rains down on the classroom, Mary-Alice Cooper sees her opportunity. This is a development of Manuela's sketch that I included with the post on August 28.
Aggie discovers the jarring difference between academic knowledge and real life field research. But it doesn't deter her from sharing what she knows.
Safe for the moment, Mary-Alice does what she does best, as Sascha struggles to fix the settings on his Time Machine.
Sascha's efforts are to no avail. Chaos, panic and destruction engulf the school.
And order is restored at last ... or is it?

Developing a Children's Picture Book

In 2016 I published my first children’s picture book, Sascha Martin’s Rocket-Ship, both in print and as a Kindle eBook. I worked with a wonderful illustrator, Manuela Pentangelo, who lives on the far side of the world from me.
The process occupied almost a year, beginning with my rhyming text and ending with a full colour, fully illustrated book that I think children will love. It was a huge learning experience for me on so many levels.
Manuela and I are now starting work on the second book in the series, Sascha Martin’s Time Machine. The new project will take just as long as the first, I’m quite certain, and is already posing new challenges for Manuela as an illustrator, and for me as a writer. The book that emerges will be very different from my first imaginings.
It will be a journey of discovery, and I want to share the experience with you. That’s what this Blog is about. ...more
