Pre-order & purchase gift for What the Woods Keep US paperback

-
My dear and lovely readers!

Thank you for all your support over the past year. It's been surreal and amazing and completely and utterly nerve-wracking to become a debut author, and I'm pleased to say that I've survived! It feels like yesterday though but also like it's been one million years though it was only September 2018 when ​my first​ novel​, What The Woods Keep​,​ was published in the US, ​closely ​follo​we​d​​ by a local publication in Australia and New Zealand. A Czech translation is now complete and soon - very soon! - there will be a beautiful Czech edition of What The Woods Keep​ as well​. ​(By the way, ​I'​m told that the title is translated into Czech as "Co lesy skrývají" (that is, "What the Woods Hide", ISBN: 978-80-7585-562-6)​.

​Ands now What The Woods Keep is coming out as a paperback in the US!!!

Why buy it? Well, if you haven't read it yet, then this is your chance. The paperback edition is cheaper than its hardcover predecessor, but it's got all the same beautiful elements, like the stunning shiny cover and the awesomely designed "found documents" illustrations. Plus, the story itself is not half-bad I hear :)

The paperback edition also includes a never before published short story called Smoke and Mirrors, a prequel to the events of What The Woods Keep, set in Paris and focusing on Del Chauvet in the important moment of her life when she first encounters the unknown and, possibly, the supernatural.

​HERE you can find buy links to major US booksellers (or check your local indie bookstore). ​

I'm mega excited to host this interview with S. Gonzales - my fellow 2018 YA debut and Melbournian. She's a also a top human all around. Her first YA novel THE LAW OF INERTIA is coming this October with Amberjack Publishing. Her sophomore book, ONLY MOSTLY DEVASTATED , is scheduled for a 2019 release with Wednesday Books ( Macmillan ).  The Law of Inertia by S. Gonzales (2018) S. Gonzales All right, let's get into it! Though so you know, THE LAW OF INERTIA comes with some content warning for heavy mental health and suicide discussions, so please keep that in mind. The author herself does a fine job outlining these trigger warnings in her note on Goodreads. Check it out here . All right, and here's the interview! What book influenced you the most when you were a child (and why)? The GOOSEBUMPS series and the ALEX RIDER series . I just adored any books that have a high level of action, drama, and high stakes situations. Still do! Plus, the G...

interview with Michelle Modesto: YA author and the talent behind those bookish makeup designs that got YA community so excited

-

I have something really cool for you all today, dear readers!  It is a very special interview with a fellow YA author who is also an artist and whose stunning designs are making writerly hearts flutter with excitement and joy.  I'm talking, of course, about Michelle Modesto. Let's start from the beginning... A few weeks ago I woke up to an amazing surprise - something really cool has happened, and it was book-related. Now, as a humble debut author, any kind of (positive) attention to my darling  luminous monster of a book-baby is a BIG DEAL to me, so this thing that happened felt very VERY special: What kind of stunning sorcery is this, you might ask? Well, this is what happens what art inspires art. In this case, when a book cover art inspires makeup design. The creator of the above awesomeness (and of many others) is  Michelle Modesto ( @elle_modesto   on Instagram ).  Aside from being a published autho...

interview with Maxine Kaplan, the author of THE ACCIDENTAL BAD GIRL

I'm super-thrilled to host another interview with my fellow 2018 debut - Maxine Kaplan! Maxine's YA contemporary THE ACCIDENTAL BAD GIRL is a story of Kendall, who finds herself in a dangerous situation after her online identity is hacked. Early Goodreads reviewers praise it as "a clever update to the classic noir genre" and call it "spiky and complicated and punk and badass and feminist all in one".  This sounds like perfection!' And here's my interview with Maxine, where we discuss her early literary influences, her path to publication, and how she came about writing complex protagonists needing to navigate their way out of trouble. What book influenced you most when you were a child (and why)? I thought long and hard about this one, because I spent a solid 90 percent of my time as a child reading. At one point I considered myself a “tomboy,” but even during that time, I distinctly remember asking my parents why kids on TV were alwa...
