A Bristol author has completed his first trilogy of novels – and he is still only 12 years old.

Owen Elloway-Smith's third book, Dragon Disaster, completes a series of novels he started three years ago.

Owen, from Henleaze, wrote Castle of Dragalno in 2005 and its follow up, Skeleton Secrets, the year after.

The books follow the story of schoolboy Charlie Aldon as he comes across dragons and ghosts.

Funds raised by sales of all three books go towards an orphanage project in Ghana with which his father Peter is involved.

The Misthy Cee Development Centre is a charity run by Bristol-based volunteers.

When the Henleaze Junior School pupil isn't putting pen to paper, he enjoys swimming, racket sports and is a big Doctor Who fan.

An enthusiastic writer, the world may have to wait for book number four from this young author.

His father said: "Owen wrote the bulk of the books when he was at primary school but now he is at secondary school, he has other things that take up his time.

"He is resting at the moment but writing is something he's said he would like to do more of in the future."

Owen's books are available from www.ellowaysmith.co.uk or Durdham Down bookshop in North View.
