|summary=[[Blade , 1: Enemies by Tim Bowler|Blade]] is one of Bookbag's favourite series for children ever - and we mean ''ever''. OUP are giving it a reissue with four books in longer instalments rather than the original eight books in very short ones. Whatever the size of the package, this is one series you shouldn't miss. So of course, we jumped at the chance to ask Tim Bowler a few questions.

* '''Bookbag: When you close your eyes and imagine your readers, who do you see?'''
TB: Blade certainly deserves a second chance. I can't speak for ''everyone''.
* '''BB: We at Bookbag are regular viewers of your [http://www.timbowler.co.uk/bb-archiveBolthole Bulletins archive Bolthole Bulletins]. How did you come to start this series? Will you ever run out of topics?!'''
TB: I began the Bolthole Bulletin videos back in August 2009 and at the time of writing I've recorded 67 films and covered several hundred topics. I started doing them out of an innocent desire to be helpful. I'm very lucky in that I receive lots of kind emails and letters from readers, many of whom ask questions or raise interesting points about writing, reading, books etc. I do my best to answer these correspondents myself or to send a reply via my secretary, but back in 2009 I started trying to think of a more personal and direct way to interact with those who wrote to me. I wanted to answer people's questions in a friendly, one-to-one way but at the same time to share with others some of the answers that I thought might be of wider interest. I also wanted to encourage people, particularly the young, with their writing.
