About buying the 6th book (2005): "I went and queued up like everyone else. I read it in two days flat. I loved it. I got it at an airport, a couple days after it came out so the queues [lines] weren't too big. So I got away with it. . . . I didn't really have the chance to get recognized."

Charles's Inspiration Story


I suppose it's wise to start at the beginning, right. Well, I saw Emma Watson on "The Sorcerer's Stone" and instantly fell in love with her wit and personality.

It inspired me to write a story about a wizard, based on her image as Hermione. I call the series Princess Luanne and Wizard Heatheria. (See if you can guess who Emma would be.)

Anyway, Heatheria is an orphaned twelve-year-old with a magical lineage, and she makes friends with twenty-one-year-old... yep, you guessed it, Princess Luanne. They become a force for good as teacher and apprentice in the arts of magic and would do anything to help each other, even if it costs them their lives.

I owe everything to Emma, and I hope that when you read this story, you'll think so, too.
