They’ve even come up with a secret messaging system: color-coded chalk-stick figures whose meanings are indiscernible to outsiders. In 1986, twelve-year-old “Eddie Munster” and his loyal group of misfit friends (Fat Gav, Metal Mickey, Hoppo, and Nicky) spend their days seeking adventure in a quiet English village while simultaneously hoping to avoid the attention of the town bullies. The Chalk Man-which has already sold in thirty-eight territories around the world-is rooted in just such childhood frivolity. Despite whatever creative inspirations may have come from those jobs, it wasn’t until her then two-year-old daughter was gifted a tub of colored chalks that the impetus for her debut novel struck: the sinister appearance of otherwise innocuous stick-figure drawings when viewed in the dark. Before circumstances enabled her to write full-time, she dabbled in professions that included copywriter, television host, voice-over artist, and professional dog walker.
Tudor is something of a Renaissance woman.
