The Glass Prison is the 3rd book in the trilogy, and is expected to be released in 2010. This is also already written. Jasper’s comments: “The Glass Prison is rich with characters, excitement and adventure. There is humour, riddles and more maps. The plot deepens, reaching a climax and eventually the story running through the trilogy comes to a dramatic close. However, there will be more books set in the same fantasy world. I have ideas and plans…” |

| OTHER BOOKS ON THE WAY… | |
| Wimpole (again, this may not be the title… I have to write more before deciding!) | |
|
Jasper’s inspiration for this book came from this painting he created:
|
Jasper’s comments:
“A book in potential, as yet just an idea, with a cat called Wimpole as the central character. I created this oil painting because I enjoy painting and love cats. It is only when it was finished that I started getting ideas for a book. He looks like quite a character, don’t you agree?” |

|
|
An unusual, original, and entertaining story.
Jasper’s comments: “At the moment this is in the form of a short story but I have plans to develop it into a full length book. Hyacinth Macaws are the largest and strongest parrots in the world. They have wonderful colours, so I couldn’t resist creating a story about them! I’m not saying anything more now so I don’t spoil it for you!” |

| Ortley Hines (again, this may not be the title… it’s too early to say!) | |
 |
Jasper’s comments:
“A character from folklore (not a fairy, wizard or pixie…) who accidentally discovers a plot to destroy all of his kind. I have begun this… about 10 pages written so far, and I can’t wait to get back to it!” |
