Laramie Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I interviewed him yesterday for our school newsletter! He was tres nice. I keep meaning to read his books, but I've never got around to it. I'll post the article...when I've written it Quote
Mia Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I'm impressed, DWMG! Looking forward to reading your article. (Nobody famous ever came to our school.) Quote
Laramie Posted June 24, 2008 Author Posted June 24, 2008 Here it is! On June 19th, the popular horror author Alan Gibbons came to our school and worked with year eight students writing horror stories. Would you believe that this author beat J.K. Rowling, Michael Morpurgo, David Almond and Jacqueline Wilson. Here at the newsletter, we had the opportunity to interview him. He has wanted to be an author since he was 6, and has a lot of influences: novels and poems from childhood, life, lyrics in songs, Johnny Cash and movies. He said that American blues and soul music has been a great influence. He explained to us an idea for a story he has...but that would spoil it now, wouldn Quote
Suzanne123 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Wow! Lucky you I read 'The Dark Beneath' by him AGES ago and thought it was brilliant! Quote
