The former Spice Girl, who just launched a new middle grade fantasy series, says she's never strayed far from her inner child.

Sure, she was part of one of the biggest girl groups of all time. But Geri Halliwell — aka Ginger Spice — says writing, not performing, was her favorite part of her two years as a Spice Girl.

Halliwell began writing her"Ugenia Lavender" series in 2004. The main character in the series, geared at young readers, was loosely based on her. Some of her famous friends, like George Michael and Gordon Ramsey, made appearances."It's like being a chef and making recipes. You take different bits of different people," she says.

Even as her star rose, Halliwell says she hasn't traveled far from her inner child. "It never goes away," she says, crediting"The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron for"waking her creativity up." Halliwell has been married to Christian Horner, team principal of the Red Bull Formula One team, since 2015. Horner, she says, is not much of a reader — except for when it comes to her books. .
