What age group is The Rainbow Orchid aimed at?
The only audience I’ve had in mind all along has been me, and I was in my late twenties when I started writing Orchid, and have continued it on and off, whenever able, throughout my thirties. Having said that, it is totally ‘kid friendly’ – there’s no extreme violence, sex or nudity. The plot has quite a few levels to it, and there is the occassional wordy scene. I’d have loved it when I was 8, and when I was 12, and it’s right up my alley as I write this in my late thirties. I get emails from 11 year olds saying they love it, and from 40-somethings saying they love it. I hear from a very pleasing mixture of both male and female readers.
