Beat the corona blues: writing tips and lesson plan

8th April 2020 By Inbali 1 Comment

Dear readers

I hope you are well during this strange time. With so many of us in lockdown, I am posting regular videos with writing tips. I would like to encourage you to write the story that has always been in your heart! You can see the first three videos here:

EPISODE 1: THE 3 KEY PRACTICES;

EPISODE 2: CHARACTER;

EPISODE 3: PLOT.

For readers, parents, guardians and school teachers, I also wanted to share below the detailed Foxcraft lesson plan created by Scholastic. It includes lots of activities and exercises linked to the Foxcraft series and, in particular, Foxcraft 3: The Mage. Please feel free to use it and share it!

Stray strong and healthy, keep reading, keep writing!

Limited edition Foxcraft prints – available now!

10th July 2018 By Inbali Leave a Comment

Hello readers,

Limited edition Foxcraft prints (featuring books to show scale)

I am super-excited to let you know that my illustrations of the first two foxcrafts – karakking and slimmering – are now available to buy as limited edition Giclée prints. The prints have been produced to the highest possible standard and are mounted in either cream or light blue. They have been individually signed and numbered by me 🙂

           “Karakking” in cream                                             “Karakking” in light blue
             “Slimmering” in cream                                          “Slimmering” in light blue

The prints are 10″ x 10″ (25.4 cm x 25.4 cm) frame size with a 6″ x 6″ (15.4cm x 15.4cm) aperture.

Karakking: Imitating the call of other creatures. The technique allows the fox to “throw” his or her voice, so it appears to come from elsewhere. Used to attract prey or confuse attackers.

Slimmering: Stilling the breath and the mind to create the illusion of invisibility. Used to avoid detection.

Each print costs £30/$40/€34 plus postage. Depending on your location, value added tax may be added – if you send me a message with your address and preferred currency I will be able to confirm the price.

If you would like to order a print, please message me through the contact form at the top of the Contact page of this website.

Run fast, be safe, live free!

The Mage is here!

26th September 2017 By Inbali 105 Comments

Hello readers,

The Mage – the third book of the Foxcraft series – hits US bookstores TODAY! I’m so excited to share this story with you. Since I first started plotting out Isla’s quest, I knew it would lead her through three distinct environments: the Graylands, the Wildlands and the Snowlands. The Snowlands is unlike anywhere that Isla has been before – a vast, hostile wilderness of bubbling geysers and razors of ice.

Oh, and wolves. Did I mention the wolves?

A blizzard was rising over the Snowlands…

A shriek and my head whipped around, heart lurching against my ribs. Was it only the wind, or something else?

Someone else?

Can Isla cross the Snowlands and survive the warring wolf packs who live there? Will she finally find answers to the riddles that have dogged her since that fateful twilight when her family disappeared? Where is Siffrin? Who is the Black Fox? What is the putrid yellow fog that is rising from the Deep Forest? What is the gloaming, and how is it linked to the most dangerous foxcraft of all?

Where is Pirie…?

Read on, brave foxes. Your quest is almost done.

Run fast, be safe, live free!

Foxcraft – recent news

29th March 2017 By Inbali Leave a Comment

Hello readers!

I wanted to update you on some exciting news. Foxcraft: Книга 2. Дикая магия is now out in Russian with Azbooka, translated by Tatyana Golubeva (http://azbooka.ru/book/26907.shtml). I’ve heard from wonderful Russian readers about Foxcraft. Книга 1. Зачарованные and seen some amazing fan art in Foxcraft communities. Thank you so much for the support. I really hope you enjoy the continuation of Isla’s adventures 

Foxcraft, Tome 2 : Les anciens is also out in French with Wiz, Albin Michel, translated by Nathalie Serval (http://www.albin-michel.fr/ouvrages/foxcraft-tome-2-9782226392381). When I finished the draft book, I went to France in order to relax and celebrate. I spent a magical week in the Languedoc region, taking in the landscape and reading about the dramatic local history. I’m thrilled that Isla is continuing her French adventure. Vivre les renards!

Excitingly, the series has just debuted in beautiful Brazil! Foxcraft 1: A Magia da Raposa is out now in Brazilian Portuguese with Rocco Jovens Leitores, translated by Debora Isidoro (http://www.rocco.com.br/livro/?cod=2850). It is making me think a lot about Brazil, and the phenomenal trip I took there some years ago – one that led me through the Pantanal wetlands, the Amazon Rainforest, the magnificent Iguassu Falls and cultural, diverse, energetic Rio. I saw crab-eating foxes in Brazil – not a variety you can see in the UK! Perhaps one day I will return. Dreams are the beginning…

Stay safe, foxes.
