An Interview with a character
It’s now 50 days to the release of The Next Together! When did that happen? How is it that close? (but also, how is there still fifty whole days to go?!?) To celebrate, I thought I’d post a little teaser. Here’s an ‘interview’ I conducted with my main character Kate, in the spirit of myContinue reading “An Interview with a character”
Updates on The Next Together
I thought I’d write a bit of an updates post, just to show where everything is at the minute. The Next Together is now completely done on my end. With exactly 100 days to publication, I sent my editor a print-out of the pages, with my final final changes written on in red pen. It’sContinue reading “Updates on The Next Together”
The Next Together is a real book!
Today I got to hold my book for the first time as a real physical thing. I’m feeling very emotional and a little tearful about it right now, so please indulge me for this post.

Researching history
I recently posted about the historical events and locations in The Next Together, so I thought I’d explain how I did my historical research. If you asked my editor and copyeditor, they’d likely admit that I’m not the best at historical accuracy. I’m not a historian. I’m never going to be as good as authorsContinue reading “Researching history”
The locations in The Next Together
Last time I posted, I had just found out that my American publishers, Egmont US, have closed down. I tried to sound positive but it had got me down quite a bit. However, I’ve got lots of wonderful people looking after me, and being very positive, so I’m a lot less upset about the wholeContinue reading “The locations in The Next Together”
The agonies and delights of obtaining a book deal
This post is about the process of getting my book deal. It was written a month after I got my deal, and rereading it now I sound MENTAL. The stress/excitement really got to me. I probably could have dealt with it all better, and being cut off from my entire family at uni for theContinue reading “The agonies and delights of obtaining a book deal”
