Favourite Author

Catherine Webb. Well it wasnt until I made my trip to the library that I found one of her books. Her books has left a great of impression on me.

5 Interesting Facts on Catherine Webb

1. She completed her first book, Mirror Dreams, only at the age of 14.
2. She also appeared in national television when she was 15 and also with the Telegraph, described as a 'Teen Queen'.
3. She appeared in CosmoGirl in an interview and inspired many young writers to try and get their works published.
4. Since her first book, she has gone on to write more books and has been favourably compared with Terry Pratchett (one of her literary heroes) and Philip Pullman. She has now published seven novels, all with Atom Books,and is a third-year history student at the London School of Economics.
5. She often prides herself on the scientific and historical accuracy of her Horatio Lyle books, which have been acclaimed by reviewers and readers.

There wasn't really much about her on wikipedia, so that's really much it. Her books were so interesting, it kept me stuck to it, even till the last page. I really hope that more books will be published.
