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 har...

Lots of things are going on, so I'm long overdue for a "catch up" post! I'm almost at ONE MONTH TO PUBLICATION mark! It feels so strange and surreal to type this, say this, write about this, but HOLY MACKEREL BATMAN, I'll be a published author next month.  In case you've somehow missed it amidst my excited (and sometimes high-pitched) screaming across multiple platforms, 18 September is my US/Canada release date and it's followed by my Australian/New Zealand publication date on 1 October (though, I'm told my books should be in shops/on shelves a bit before that - so if you're an Assue/Kiwi and you've preordered my book from your local shop - there might be a surprise package coming your way earlier than you think!).  WHAT THE WOODS KEEP My preorder campaign for What The Woods Keep is going strong, people! All the details are here [click!]  but basically if you've preordered my book ANYWHERE (digital or physical copy!)...

Last month, I had an enormous amount of fun interviewing my fellow 2018 YA debut, Elizabeth Tammi for our regular Electric Eighteens Interview series. Each interview features two debut authors and is circulated in our closed group. It's a great way to get to know your fellow authors, share experiences and just talk up our books. When I was matched with Elizabeth, I was thrilled - I kept hearing about the awesomeness of her book, OUTRUN THE WIND, and wanted to know more about the woman who wrote it. After we've done the interview, I wondered - why not share it here as well? After all, why deprive the world of two authors' quirky jokes, geeking out on mythology and sharing their embarrassing stories about strange past jobs and whatnot (ok, yes, I'm referring solely to myself in that last point). Anyway, please go ahead and feast your eyes on our interview!   But first... About us and  our respective books:  ELIZABETH TAMMI is the author of OU...
