Oldman Brook: Whilst writing the 'Wizard', I honestly didn't envisage anyone in the audience – my focus was always to produce a story I could enjoy and be proud of. However, having completed the final drafts, I've been surprised to receive some good responses from a number of people, be it reviewers, friends, family or colleagues. I'd always pictured it as a fantasy book for children aged 10+, but from the reactions I've been getting, I can see boys and girls of all ages reading it.
* '''BB: We were impressed by [[The Wizard of Crescent Moon Mountian Mountain by Oldman Brook|The Wizard of Crescent Moon MountianMountain]]. What inspired you to write the book?'''
OB: My daughter was definitely the inspiration for book. For years, I'd had musings and ideas about the adventures of a grumpy old wizard, but it was my daughter who made me want to put pen to paper. The Wizard of Crescent Moon Mountain is my gift to her – as well as the toys, the books, the DVD's and the dolls… I could go on.
