TALL TALES: WITH POPPY NWOSU. - Tall Tales with Poppy Nwosu

YA AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Kristy Fairlamb

28/5/2020

After reading #LoveOzYA author Kirsty Fairlamb's debut book, Lucid, in 2019, I was very excited to receive an early ARC of her second, titled Luminous, a May 2020 release.

This new book is the finale in Kristy's excellent supernatural thriller duology, with this second instalment about a girl who has made the ultimate sacrifice for love, and now must battle a terrifying supernatural curse alone.

I loved reading this book so much and definitely recommend it!!

I had to ask Kristy some questions, because I felt very excited :)

So here goes ...

For the first time ever ... I interviewed an author (instead of being interviewed!!!!)

I interviewed the wonderful Ali Whitelock on her latest collection (of incredibly beautiful, funny and moving poems) called THE LACTIC ACID IN THE CALVES OF YOUR DESPAIR.

I am a big fan of this poetry, which I think you can tell in the interview! If you would like to watch it, HERE IS THE RECORDING.

I am so excited to announce I was awarded an Arts Grant through Arts SA for the rewrite and development of an unpublished manuscript titled Neon Boneyard.

Part of the grant also covers a mentorship with the incredible Vikki Wakefield (yay!!!) and also a Writers Retreat so I can get some work done!

I feel so grateful for this, and it will make a big difference for me :)
