I am SO EXCITED to have received a really amazing and positive review from Books and Publishing for my upcoming YA novel, Taking Down Evelyn Tait!

You can read the full review HERE.

It is such a lovely review and I am so very grateful! :)

​
I was very excited to get the opportunity to speak on an author panel with some amazing local Adelaide authors, at Hallett Cove for Stories on Stage!

It was a really fun night, and we spoke about our publishing journeys, our writing processes, and of course, about our stories!

How exciting!

My debut #LoveOZYA novel Making Friends with Alice Dyson appeared in the SA Weekend list of best books of 2019.

Which is ... fairly bonkers!
Wow!

Welcome to another YA Author Interview, and the final one for 2019!

Well, isn't this exciting?
When I got the opportunity to host an interview with Marissa Meyer (New York Times bestselling YA author of SO MANY BOOKS!) for my blog, I obviously jumped at the chance. 

Then I asked fellow Aussie author, reader and friend, Simone Corletto if she could help me, and she very kindly said yes!

So a huge thank you to Marissa Meyer and Pan Macmillan for the interview, and Simone Corletto for the questions!

One of the most incredible things that happened to me in 2019, was being awarded the Writers SA residency at Varuna the Writer's House.

I went to Varuna (in the Blue Mountains) for a week and I have never been so productive in my entire life!

I worked on a new project and wrote 50,000 words.
I am so excited about the (still very rough) manuscript, and so grateful for my time at Varuna. I never get time like that. Days of uninterrupted writing time.
I made the most of it.

I cannot wait to hopefully go back again!
