Alex Williams had a dream...
and it was a really scary one.

He dreamt that a hideous flappy creature crawled in through his bedroom window and stole his talent for writing in the form of a glowing sphere. On awakening (in a cold sweat), Alex saw this as a sign to better appreciate his creative gift and so wrote a book about this mysterious 'talent thief'. The result was a thrilling tale that is now capturing the imaginations of readers across the globe.

Happily, Hollywood loved it too and the book is now in the very capable hands of Universal Pictures... watch this space for news!

One hot summer, Alex Williams took a job picking daffodil bulbs. Every evening, as he tried to cool off from the heat of the day, he would pluck the stray thorns from his sore fingers and attempt to write and paint - all while trying to think of ways to keep his grumpy landlord at bay.

And so sprung the story of a brave, brilliant, mad family who made beautiful fans in a land of endless winter - at the mercy of a terrible tyrant.

In turns laugh-out-loud funny and cry-out-quietly chilling, The Storm Maker has at its icy heart a terrible secret... The Storm Maker is now available to buy in the US under the title The Deep Freeze of Bartholomew Tullock.
