If you haven’t read it, do – I can’t wait for the follow up, MoonLocket, out in May.need to get working on my dress ups for that event…įellow Slushpiler Teri Terry has a new series launching in May this year, Contagion – I’ve not read it yet but she is consistently good, I loved Book of Lies released this year and I can’t wait for this creepy looking series!
It’s middle grade with a strong story, wonderful characters and a gorgeous steampunk feel to it. I also want to mention Peter Bunzl’s Cogheart – this book was Usborne’s lead debut in 2016 and made a huge and deserved splash. Sue Wallman’s See How They Lie, Patrice Lawrence’s Indigo Donut and Eugene Lambert’s Into The No Zone, I couldn’t quite get my hands on yet but I will! I will! I’m so happy for them, they give me hope! I’m still writing my book 2 ( slacker). I’ve read one of them, Olivia Levez, The Circus, and loved it.
Here, in the spirit of new motherhood, I’m going to celebrate my book’s first birthday by inviting a few pregnant friends over…I think I may be taking this metaphor a bit too far…Basically, I’m going to celebrate my book’s birthday with the Joy of New Books!ĭuring this last year, I teamed up with four other SCBWI debut authors, my fellow Lost and Founders, and they all have new books out this year. I think it’s traditional to talk about the highs and lows of having a first bookbaby- and at some point I will be doing a post on that for SCBWI’s Words and Pictures – I’ll link to it when it comes out. You can see loads of pictures here but this is one of my favourites, because it sums up all the support, kindness and squidging I’ve had along the way: All the hugs for SCBWI pal Addy Farmer I was so moved by this, it’s amazing, don’t you think? And then very many of them turned out for my launch parties – the first hosted by Daunt Books, the second, by Waterstones. Just a few of the many pals who “MorphedofMe” for Launch day. The tribute below was lead by Candy Gourlay and Amanda Lillywhite, who encouraged enormous numbers of people to do this to their faces and post it all over facebook and twitter. The birth was celebrated by many of my amazing friends. My debut YA novel More of Me was released by Usborne to U.K. After more than 15 years of trying, I became an actual, real life published author. One year ago today, my first book was born. I feel like I should have a little birthday tea.
