Goodreads asked Olly Barrett:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Olly Barrett I was lucky enough to grow up in a village surrounded by hills, fields & woods. After watching Watership Down as a child, the story never left me. When my daughters wanted books to read, I thought they should have personalised adventures to excite their imagination as well as all the books they already had.

We live in a town, so it gave them a sense of escapism with these stories. It took many years to get it right, but I think I cracked it. They love the books and convinced me to publish them all, so this is where I am at right now - book 1, The Battle for Oak Ridge, has just gone live on Amazon.
