AUTHOR Michelle Paver has earned a record £3MILLION advance — for her first children’s novel.

Michelle, 44, penned her story Wolf Brother in 1982 while at Oxford University.

But the manuscript lay untouched in a dusty box file for more than 20 years.

Then Michelle rewrote it and received the giant payout — the biggest-ever advance for a debut children’s novel.

Oh great, that's me buggered then. The plot uses a couple of elements in my own book.
Back too the bloody drawing board again.

It’s not true. They’re just not going to pay out that kind of money for a first book. It’s just a publicity stunt.
