I love to find out some new magical thing that I think is cool. Do you have a favourite elements to write? You’ve got the relationships, the friendships and the mysteries. You’ve got the magic and the bureau itself. It’s got so many elements that you can play with as well. Did you always know where you were going to take Amari’s story with book two? Or did that come to you having finished book one or as you started writing?Ī post shared by BB Alston I can imagine that was so much fun. It was such just a blast to read, it was so much fun. It’s a little bit easier because I already had the world down and the characters, so a lot of it’s just writing cool stuff that readers might find interesting. And that’s such a big change from writing the first book. I always had it in the back of my head that I have to be done by this date. Honestly it was kinda challenging, because with the first book, I could just write. I can imagine! How has the experience been for you going from focussing on writing The Night Brothers for so many years, to having that released and then jumping into writing the sequel, The Great Game? Man, I feel like I’m in a fairy tale myself, honestly. And I think it’s 30 something countries now. But it’s on bestseller lists, it’s on the Sunday Times bestseller list and then we got a movie deal coming out. I had been getting rejections for so many years, I thought, well, if it just does, okay, I’ll be happy. You know, it’s so funny, because when I was writing it, I had no expectations. That’s definitely the word I’d use, it’s definitely like a whirlwind.
How has this year post release been for you, because I can imagine it must have been a bit of a whirlwind considering just how amazingly it’s done and the love that it’s received?
Hi B.B! It is just so incredibly lovely to be able to get to chat to you to celebrate the release of Amari and the Great Game, the must anticipated sequel to Amari and the Night Brothers. (who is just as lovely as you’d imagine) and chat to him all about his sensational Supernatural Investigations series. To celebrate its release, we were overjoyed to have the chance to jump on a video call with B.B. is one of the most creative and exciting writers in the middle grade game right now. With its equally heartfelt, action-packed and imagination filled follow up, Amari and the Great Game, once again proves that B.B. Alston’s hit debut, Amari and the Night Brothers, took the world by storm with its 2021 release and we’ve been more than a little bit obsessed with it ever since.
One of the best pieces of children’s fiction to hit shelves in many many years, B.B.
