“Writing a snapshot from Espesso, while writing a novel is a feast,” says Jerry Halliol Horner.
It is now famous for the spices of ginger, which is behind the pop phenomenon in the 1990s, HalliWell-Horner is now about the age group that was once preserving its words. She talked enthusiastically with the Times about her new young novel, “Rosie Frost: Ice on Fire”, and the second in a trilogy started with the best best -selling books “Rosie Frost and The Falcon Queen”.
However, Halliwe-Horner is not new to writing; Notes were published, “If only”, in 1999, shortly after her departure from Spice Girls, as well as a series of children’s books, “Ugenia Lavender”, in 2008. “Start again. [‘Rosie Frost’ is a] A story is much deeper than the body. “
“I love the Bittat Goey,” Halliwe-Horner continues to choose her favorite scene from the book, a kiss between Rosie and her interest in love. “I enjoyed writing that,” she says brilliantly, as if we were a teenager about Rosie’s era.
Halley Horner Rosie drinks with some of those features that made girls and young women (and let us face it, many men) fall in love with her spice colleagues-“Baby Spice” Emma Bonton, “Scary Spa” Melanie Brown, “Sporty Spice” Melanie Chisholm and “POSH SAI Spice” almost.
Although eight years have passed since HalliWell-Horner released a single song, the original music of Countla formulated “Rosie Frost” so far, including the latest song, “Orven Now”, which can be accessed via the QR code in “Ice on Fire”.
She is not ashamed of the thorny adolescence, such as sadness, isolation and revenge, which is the driving force of this batch as Rosie seeks to take revenge on the killing of her mother.
“He is much darker and he is real,” says Halloweel Horner.

What attracts you to writing and writing for children in particular?
I always liked writing. You have always been a huge reader. I studied the theater – Staniswesky – and English literature before he started my musical career, which was still creative in words. When you write a song, you will find the words that perhaps someone [else] You cannot find itself. It is a novel, but in a snapshot of Espears, while writing a novel is a feast.
My ambition is always to communicate with everyone. These novels, but my hope is that [readers] Any age calls [with the story]. The elderly love Ya also because it has a deeply curious mind to empty it a little, or if you are a strange and curious person like me, he also puts this box.
You have to do a lot of research and really love to do this. Before I collided with the page, I found myself looking for Fusion energy because a background [the “Rosie Frost” novels] It is a little science, but I want to get it properly and raise the sound level. I found myself learning about physics and black holes, just to give them originality.

“My ambition is to give others a feeling of empowerment, hope and inspiration by telling stories, whether through the song or through [books]Jerry Halliol Horner says.

How was this search process, specifically the search for the British royal family and the identification of the parts that must be included in the traditions of Rosie?
I had previously read historical novels, such as “The Boleyn Girl”, written by Philippa Gregory, a really great entry point in history but in a light way. I have always loved “Tudors”, which is full of drama. [The Tudor dynasty] It was a really pivotal moment in history. I also thought we needed a female character that reflects who we are today. The hero of the novel, which is not composed of weakness and weakness. Rosie Frost finds herself there after 500 years after it has come. She had to find the courage she never knew. You know that: You have courage to take the opportunity [what] You fear more. Rosie had to do so. I did it in [writing this series]. Now, in Book 2, it strikes 14 – the era of power. She really finds her own identity. Through its experience and confidence, you begin to find your inner strength and confidence in it.
Are there any plans for a third book?
This is what I am doing now. I don’t want to give the game away. I always knew it would be triple. I always knew what it would be the end. I still decide who will die. Someone will do.
There is an advanced line between the strength of the girl she adopted as part of the Spice Girls and now in writing this story about a strong little girl for a completely new generation. Was this awareness when you were writing Rosie Frost?
I think you are completely right. Whatever I do, there is always this composition. My ambition is to give others a feeling of empowerment, hope and inspiration by telling stories, whether through the song or through [books].
It goes through very human conflicts, whether it is bullying – can be intimidated at any age – or sadness. But wrapped it in chocolate, curiosity, history and danger. “Ice on the fire” is dark and delicious at the same time.
You are recently Disturbed The girls did not reunite the spices. Is there anything else you can tell us?
I am very grateful to everyone who supported what the girls have achieved. But when there is something to be announced, it will come from [us as] Total.
