Airships would have a future if they could be made safer. I read personal accounts of some earlier journeys that people had made in airships, including one by a girl who flew from Germany to South America. She was even taken into the gondola to see how it operated. It sounded like a lovely way to travel! So my advice is, never throw anything away. (In terms of writing I mean. Obviously in real life throw some things away - you don't want to be drowning in stuff!) Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case! Part of the Solve Your Own Mystery seri...

The investigative trio is vacationing alongside Robert’s newly-found mother and sibling at a hotel; the trio befriends, relates with and morally supports a mouse-loving orphaned child called Dane who desires to familiarize himself with his deceased parents. In their quest to assist the grieving Dane; the trio’s investigation leads them underwater where—after a nurse automaton kidnaps Dane—they battle it out with awoken, nightly and sea-dwelling zombies (of mass murder victims) whose re-animating automaton is associated with the orphan’s experimenting aunt. Q: This is your third Cogheart book, do you enjoy revisiting the world? How do you go about thinking of new adventures for your lead characters, Lily, Robert and Malkin, or did you have these planned out when you began the Cogheart series? We are sorry! The publisher (or author) gave us the instruction to take down this book from our catalog. But please don't worry, you still have more than 500,000 other books you can enjoy! Cogheart Peter Bunzl A: I do have one more adventure currently planned for Lily, Robert and Malkin. I can't really say anything about it at the moment because it's top secret. But maybe there's a little clue to something that happens in the story in the answer about where I would travel in an airship.A: That would be Mould and Roach, the henchmen. I was reading a lot of Neil Gaiman who has fabulous villains and I saw these two in my head and one of them had these awful silver mirror eyes - perfect! Accompanied by her two human friends, Robert and Tolley, and her mechanical fox, Lily visits Slimwood’s High Top. But the experience is far from fun.

Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap... First dated October 4, 2020; the serialized Cogheart Adventures’ third book is Skycircus whose translated titles include Himlacirkusen (Swedish), Atraksi Maut (Indonesian), and Podniebny (Polish).

When 13 year old Lily's inventor father is presumed dead in an air crash, she is sent to live with her authoritarian governess. But her father had a secret, kept in small box, that others will do anything to get hold of. When Lily and her friend Robert discover the box, they are forced into hiding and, helped by their mechanical fox Malkin, must run for their lives. Skycircus is the welcome third story in Peter Bunzl’s wonderful Cogheart series of fantasy adventures for thrill-seeking readers. A: I would like to take a trip on Ladybird, which is Anna Quinn's airship. I think she would be a fun pilot to travel with and I love the idea of a small and comfy dirigible - a bit like a caravan or barge - that flies about here and there. Q: What would be your favourite day off spent in (contemporary) London? Where would you go, what would you see?

Revolted at what they see, Lily and her friends decide to rescue the hybrid teenagers, but they are caught by Slimwood, the circus owner, and Madame Lyons-Mane, the sinister ring mistress. A: I needed something that would act as a bit of a red herring for the action but I also wanted there to be something of import in the box. What is inside the box helps Lily to learn more about her past. A: As a child I was interested in telling stories and I wrote and illustrated stories for my family before moving on to producing my own comics. Then my mum bought me a book about animation and from that point I was really interested in how you brought stories to life. Initially dated March 1, 2018; Brightstorm, by Englishwoman Vashti Hardy, is her first book in the Brightstorm series. Brightstorm is named after the shared surname of its protagonists, namely Arthur Brighstorm and Maudie Brightstorm; the aforementioned orphaned twins prove their mettle during the death investigation of their posthumously disgraced father Ernest Brightstorm who perished during an ill-fated polar exploration amid alleged conflict of interest.Q: The villains in the story are ruthless in their pursuit of Lily but were probably fun to write - who is your favourite? A: I'm not a natural engineer but I did need to know how airships operated for the story so I did some research into how they were engineered. I discovered that there are places in America today where they are trying to build modern versions of the old airships for military contracts. I would probably take it on a voyage across the Atlantic. On one of the routes that real historical airships used to take: from Europe to America.
