Author Bio
Evonne Blanchard was born and raised in England. She met her husband, an
American whilst they were both volunteering at a children's orphanage in
Guatemala. The writer lives north of
Boston, Massachusetts with her husband and their two daughters, Lydia and
Gwendolyn. Other additions to the
household include a crazy puppy called Bailey, a lovely cat called Arthur, and
lots of fish!
The author has been
fascinated by space ever since she was a little girl, mesmerized by clips of
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon. As a teenager, War of the
Worlds, by H.G Wells became one of her favorite books and she adores the movie
Mars Attacks.
When it came to creating
her own aliens, the author decided on the warm and fuzzy type, rather than the
war-like Martians. Uglesnoo, her main alien character is from Pluto. He's very
friendly and nice but a little crazy too! This was the beginning of Amelia's Amazing Space Adventures, starring Amelia and
her alien friend Uglesnoo, from Pluto in a series of ten exciting space
adventures for children, ages 5-10.
Uglesnoo’s sister is very sick. The only cure is a repelling crystal from
Neptune. To obtain the crystal Amelia
and Uglesnoo must travel to the Moon, Sun and all the planets in the solar
system.
Evonne’s favorite planet -or to be more accurate dwarf planet- is Pluto,
because it has a blue sky and glaciers just like Earth! She was not happy when
Pluto was downgraded. Uglesnoo, her
alien creation from Pluto is still mad at the decision. “Pluto is
the most important place in the solar system. It’s where everyone
goes for their vacation!” He agrees with Alan Stern, a leading NASA
scientist, “This definition (of Pluto as a dwarf planet) stinks…!”
The author is currently
working on the fourth book in the series, Amelia, the Snapperjacks and the
Molten Maze. This book is set on the
Sun. How will Amelia and Uglesnoo manage to land on the boiling hot Sun,
trade with the aliens, find the jars of Snapperjack honey and
continue their quest to save Uglesnoo's sister?
