MAGIC CARD








Everyone has a child-like spirit.
I am a dreamer. I wish upon the star. I believe in magical things. I see the world in different angles. My brain sees something that my eyes refused to believe.
I am fascinated by children's story. I have a lot of fun writing for children. It requires vivid imagination, creativity and the ability to put oneself in the mind of a child. You have to know the child’s love, hates, interests and fears....
I wrote stories for Charm. Charm is all about witches story, not the usual ugly-faced old hag with voodoo dolls but a good one (?) Anyway, I am a witch, a good witch. Together with artist Tina Francisco we created kid fighters in MAGIC CARD, the story evolved on three kids playing magic cards, then a mysterious character appeared, the monster reborn. This monster named Ludovic, a wicked spirit created by a hateful soul dwells in a world of dreams. The distance between dream and reality is completely blown apart. The story had some sort of conflicts and obstacle that the main characters had to resolve. By the power of combined prayer, unity, sound mind and a sound body the attack force of good triumphed over evil. Kids love adventures and heroes. When the story is scary I inject humor to the scene and character to entertain kids like creating characters of jolly mythical creature, playful and flirty dragon. For those who are always young-at -heart , writing children's book is a very rewarding craft.
