The Development of the Mighty Mihte Lugh Book Series
Mihte's Quest was first published in 2008
Mihte's Quest is the story of an ancient pan-Northern European hero called Lugh (viz. the shining). The book encompasses the earliest period of Lugh’s life.
Lugh is born at the winter equinox. His father Cian (the ancient), representing the previous summer saves him. Lugh remains hidden until he is strong enough to fight and defeat winter. At this point, our contemporary story starts. He is the human world considers him deranged, a fantasist. As soon as he is abducted and arrives in the Fairy World he starts a rights of passage journey on the road of realisation and discovery.
Pen Press published Mihte's Quest in 2008.This book was only available for over year before it was withdrawn from print to reclaim its Intellectual Property rights. Around this time an agent for ABC television (Disney) in LA had shown interest in the book. The had hoped to make a television film. They thought it a fantastic story, but too dark for an American TV channel.
Mihte Lugh the Shining One
We immediately commenced production of a television pilot with an Indian studio. A children's television pilot was released in 2013 and exhibited at Kidscreen Summit in New York, C.M.C., Sheffield, England, and MIP Junior, Cannes, France. It has attracted quite a following from cash strapped public broadcasters, especially in Europe.
Quest for Mihte Lugh
We recently released the first three books in the Mihte Lugh book series as part of a plan to produce a full length animated movie for theatrical release. The books continue the maturation of Lugh who eventually become the King of the Fairies representing the sun.
With international co-production partners we hope to have the film released in several years time.
