======================
SAMPLE ENTRY:
“What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?â€
 
The Mortal Instruments series was inspired out of a daily encounter, just like any other author who conceived their ideas mostly with the environment and people they meet in life.
Cassandra Clare has a certain fascination which she claims she never had: Tattoos. She believes the Ancient Runes within this pigmentation where warriors cover their bodies with symbols and images, but the inspiration did not happen within a snap. The fascination for tattoos was even more solidified when a friend of hers who is a tattoo artist gave her a tour in her new shop in New York. There was a unique tradition in the tattoo parlor…

Cult Film
On CD for the first time this fantastic full-cast radio adventure comes from esteemed producer Dirk Maggs director of “Superman: Doomsday and Beyond” and the recent radio episodes of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. ; ; Batman has been crippled by his fiercest foe ever Bane: a villain of superhuman strength cunning and evil. With Bruce Wayne confined to a wheelchair who will protect the innocent from the dangerous inmates of Arkham Asylum whom Bane has released? ; ; This stunning audio production was first aired on BBC Radio 1. The cliffhanging all-action adventure can now be heard uninterrupted – with dazzling sound effects specially composed orchestral music and all. You’ve ‘never’ heard a comic sound like this! ; ; Comment by Dirk Maggs ; ; When it was first suggested we should make action dramas in daily three minute episodes I was pretty scared but willing to give it a try. There was a lot of gloomy predictions of failure but once we got into our stride it seemed to work pretty well and it was a format which could be slotted in between the chart records on BBC Radio 1. Also the first real effort to get to grips with Dolby Surround was `Batman Knightfall” which we made for BBC Radio 1 in 1994. ; ; The idea was to create an atmospheric mood which would be quite scary. Paul Deeley did some amazing sound mixing but some of the effects mixing and panning aren’t as focussed as we would do it now on Dolby 5.1. ; ; To be honest everything I have done I would improve if I could go back and do it again … we are all the same perfectionists who – but for deadlines – might never finish a job! ; ; A quick word for Bob Sessions who played our Batman. What a great presence he has what a wonderful voice. And he Was Batman in a uniquely urbane way. My ambition was to do Frank Miller’s `The Dark Knight Returns with him … sadly it was not to be – dear Bob died before it could happen. Thank you Bob.

Gothic
Jillian Venters was a fairly spooky and morbid child, with parents who never objected to her eccentric taste in clothing. When she discovered the existence of the whole Gothic subculture, she clapped her hands with glee. Eventually she came to realise that excellent clothes were not a substitute for excellent manners.
