There’s only six days until The Last Beginning is released in the UK and Australia! My official countdown starts here. I’m going to be releasing special content on my blog every day until release day.
Yesterday I recapped the first book The Next Together to remind people of the plot. Today, I’m doing another recap – this time for anyone who doesn’t want to get spoilered. Here’s a summary of TNT that is more, er, pictorial.
Here is The Next Together….in emoji form!!!! WHATTTT.

And here’s The Last Beginning:

Isn’t that cool?! I was so proud of myself for these. They’re so cute. And a lot, lot easier to write than a full novel!
OKAY, SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR THE NEXT ~EXTRA~. Six days to go!!
The Last Beginning will be published by Walker Books in the UK and Australia on 6th October 2016. It will be released in the US in Fall 2017 by Sky Pony Press.
