THE AUTHOR: Jasper Cooper first created Candara’s Gift as a bed-time story for his two children twelve years ago. When they kept asking for it, he decided eventually to write it down and self-publish a book. What resulted shocked the literary world: Candara’s Gift instantly became an Amazon No.1 bestseller following its launch in June 2006, and is sold widely throughout Britain’s largest chain of booksellers, Waterstones. Candara’s Gift is now the first book in a trilogy The Kingdom of Gems. Cooper is looking to secure American publication, if not a movie deal as well. Find out more at the official website, where you can watch coverage by the BBC.
