It's a small (and friendly) world

Thanks to Mia K Rose, who kindly invited me to answer a few questions on her very stylish self-titled blog this week. She’s interviewing a series of YA writers as part of Aussie Author Month, and her posts are well worth a read.

I (unknowingly) chatted with Mia a few weeks back when we were both lined up at the Claudia Gray signing at Black Cat Books last month. She was the lovely lady who kindly took the photo for me. Such a small world. 🙂

You can check out my Aussie Author Month interview with Mia here.

Thanks for the opportunity Mia – and thanks for supporting Aussie authors.

Shadows release date: 2 July

ImageIt’s official: Shadows (Book 1 of The Rephaim series) goes on sale 2 July. Quite surreal to see a release date in print. Of course it’s also hugely exciting (in that nerve-jangling, adrenaline-surging kind of way).

You can actually pre-order now, either through book stores in Australian and New Zealand or online: http://textpublishing.com.au/books-and-authors/book/shadows/. (I know, way too early, but this feels like another milestone…)

And Text now releases print and ebook versions of its titles simultaneously,  so Shadows will be available in both formats on the same day.

When the release date gets closer, I hope to be able to offer a bit of teaser, and there will likely be give-aways and all sorts of other exciting stuff.

Stay tuned. 🙂

In the meantime, you can check out the official Shadows page on the Text Publishing website here.

About Me

I’m the author of the Rephaim series and The Undercurrent.

For my day job, I’m a writer-journalist-professional communicator, where my writing involves a lot less profanity.

I grew up in regional South Australia and now live in the Scenic Rim with my husband and a retired greyhound.

If you’re interested in how I came to land a publishing deal, you can read the short version in this post from August 2011. There’s a longer version (in a guest post) here.
