Anne-Marie Conway: I suppose at the moment I see nine or ten year-old girls who love real-life stories as well as a bit of singing and dancing. This might change when my next book comes out, Butterfly Summer, as it is slightly more grown-up and much darker.
* '''BB: It's been rather a long time since I appeared on stage myself, butmy sister has always loved being involved in drama and I know from what she's told me that your Star Makers series is extremely realistic. Do you have much first-hand knowledge of amateur dramatics?'''
A-M C: 3. Yes I have loads. I've been running my own children's theatre company, Full Circle, for years and years. We meet on Saturday afternoons (it used to be all day but that was before I had my own children) and we put on fab musicals. I always belonged to a drama group when I was growing up so my experience really does go way back. I just LOVE putting on a musical, even though the process is SO stressful you wouldn't believe.
* '''BB: Do you listen to music while you write? If so, do any of the Star Makers series have a particular soundtrack?'''
