A new anthology..

I have an essay in Demigods and Monsters, a new anthology of pieces about the fantastic Percy Jackson series, by Rick Riordan. The book will be out soon in Borders stores(like Through the Wardrobe, it's published by Ben Bella Books and is a Borders exclusive). Lots of interesting pieces to get your teeth into--and the book's edited by Rick Riordan himself!

NEW: Trailer on You Tube!

I've just uploaded a trailer for The Case of the Diamond Shadow at my You Tube channel. It features 1930's pictures, including some taken by my grandfather, and a still from a 1930's French movie he shot, called Melo, as well as the cover of a 1930's true-crime magazine I have. And it's got a soundtrack which is part of the famous 1931 song, ''Minnie the Moocher'' by Cab Calloway. Enjoy!

New website for fantasy series

I've just created a great new website for my earlier four-book fantasy series, The Chronicles of el Jisal, with the fabulous, free new Googlepages website creator. Have a look: it's at http://sophievmasson.googlepages.com

New video on You Tube channel

I've just uploaded a short video talk(4 mins) about creating my graphic novel, The Secret Army: Operation Loki. Like The Case of the Diamond Shadow, it's set in the 1930's, but in 1936, the year of the Berlin Olympic Games, rather than 1931. And it's an adventure rather than a mystery--an adventure with supernatural elements! Go and have a look at www.youtube.com/sophievmasson
