Coming Down To Earth - Susan Price

. .

Résumé :
Azalin's class go on a school trip to another planet. The planet Earth. Once on Earth, Azalin runs away. Her dream is to be a 'tronic when she grows up: one of the special people who maintain the systems keeping the man-made planet of Newarth alive. But just before leaving for Earth, she was told that Newarth already has all the 'tronics it needs. She will have to be a store-keeper instead. And she is to be 'sporting' about it. Azalin doesn't want to be a store-keeper. And she doesn't want to be sporting. So she runs away. She phones home to say that when she's allowed to be a 'tronic, she'll come back. But, alone on Earth, Azalin has no idea how much danger she's in. Life on Earth isn't as safe and ordered as life on Newarth. Especially when she wanders into the 'no-go' zone called 'The Rookery.' Even the Earth Police won't go there... Azalin comes down to Earth. But will she survive to home to Newarth?...

I was firmly convinced that I decided to become an author at the age of seven, after reading Kipling's Jungle Books - until I was talking to my aunt recently.

She told me that she remembered me marching up to her and my grandmother, putting my hands on my hips and announcing,'When I grow up I'm going to be a writer!'


You were four,she said.


Whether four or seven when I made the decision, I never wavered thereafter. I have always been single-minded. But bloody-minded single-mindedness is an essential quality in a writer. Without it, you probably wouldn't even finish a first draft.

My father signed my first publishing contract, because I was 16, and under-age. I'd have been fairly happy if that had been my one and only book. But luck was with me, and I've gone on to publish something like 60 books, for different ages and in different genres...
