Lily asked Peter A. Flannery:

Hi Mr Flannerey, I’m 13 and I’m a massive fan of battle mage! I’m so exited that your thinking about writing a sequel! I was wondering do you think one day battle mage might me made into a movie/tv show?

Peter A. Flannery Oh, wouldn't that be awesome! :)

Hi Lily
Thanks for the question and all I can say is, I hope so! So far, I have had only one serious enquiry about adapting the book for TV or film. However, it would be a hugely ambitious project and this initial enquiry didn't get very far.

When writing Battle Mage I always visualised it as a movie and the scene changes and points of view are also more like a movie than traditional literary techniques. If I can do a good job on the prequel and sequel then I think the chances of it reaching the screen will be enhanced. But even then, the chances will be slim. Just think about how long it took to adapt Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time!

So hopefully, at some point, Falco, Sidian and the rest will be brought to life on the big screen. Until then, we just need to have faith!

Thanks again for getting in touch

Peter
