Bushmills author Claire Savage has launched her second children's novel, 'Phantom Fantasia'.
It's the sequel to her first book 'Magical Masquerade', which tells the story of 'Felicity Stone' in the Fair Realm.
The book's aimed at children 8-12 years of age.
An event was recently held at the Portrush Coastal Zone, organised by Denis McNeill, to celebrate the publication of this sequel.
Speaking following the launch, Claire said, "Part of Phantom Phantasia takes place underwater, in the ocean, so the Portrush Coastal Zone was the perfect place to have the launch party.
"I’m delighted we were able to use this beautiful space, which is full of wonderful marine exhibits, with everything from whale bones, to fish tanks which have real-life specimens from ‘The Deep’.
“Lots of people came to the launch party, including many local school children, so it was a great evening.
"My former English and Spanish teachers were also there, which was great.
"Thanks to everyone who attended and I hope they all enjoy reading Phantom Phantasia!”
