When I’m not on an immediate deadline, I try to be more disciplined and consistent about it – writing for anywhere from three to eight hours a day. When I’m on deadline, I write every single day for all of the hours that I’m not sleeping. (Plus, he has a fabulous head of ginger hair and superb fashion sense.) But most of all he is loyal, caring, protective and loving of Morrigan and the people he considers family.
He is multitalented and highly respected in several different fields.
He lives an incredibly adventurous life, but much of it is a mystery. For that reason, I gave him the qualities I think most people would like to have, either in themselves or in a parent or guardian – he is silly and funny, but he also is very intelligent and discerning. When Morrigan first meets him, he offers to whisk her away to a secret world she’s never heard of, and so he had to be someone who was immediately and entirely trustworthy, and also someone who’s just lots of fun, someone Morrigan and the reader would want to spend time with. Jupiter North is, I think, sort of the ideal mix of wise mentor, eccentric uncle, big brother, father figure and mischievous pal. How did you come up with the character Jupiter? Our very own Toppsta reviewer, Valentine (age 12), created some brilliant interview questions for Jessica Townsend after reading Wundersmith, her highly-anticipated sequel to Nevermoor.
