Talented writer Ananya Talwar is now a published author with her book available to buy on Amazon and in selected bookshops.

Ananya wrote the story which entwines three girls from across three centuries when she was 14 but it has taken her two years to find the right publisher, Create Space. The 16 year old even painted the artwork used on the cover of the book as she didn’t like what the publisher offered her.

The story looks at how the life of one girl in the 1800’s can make decisions that would impact a girl who lives in 2029, a look at the Butterfly Effect across the years, as well as sending a message about how the increase in pollution in the world is changing lives.

Ananya said: “It’s really really weird having my own book, it’s on Amazon already and in some bookshops.

“I always liked writing, the stories I write online are about Harry Potter, but I wanted to do something original.

I wrote this when I was 13 and 14 but it took ages to find the right publisher.”

The school will be buying a few copies to put into the school library for everyone to enjoy.

Ananya is looking forward to the summer holidays once her GCSE exams are finished and she can work on her second novel which has about 100 pages completed already.
