My #LoveOzYA novel NEVERLAND is out now!

NEVERLAND cover

Show some Insta love: @project_lectito

Where for art thou, summer? ❄️😬❄️The apparent temp was FOUR DEGREES this morning??!! But a good excuse to get the oven going for some super speedy lunchtime baking. ✨🎄✨ Now warming up with homemade orange and hazelnut shortbread, stove-warmed hot choc and a few pages of The Girl With all the Gifts in the last mins of Frankie’s nap 😊 Hour-long naps are a new thing for my sleep-averse child and OMG I’d forgotten HOW MUCH you can get done in so little time when you’re not running after a tiny human 😅
Finally getting my Christmas cards in the post today, with a special stamp for the fab team who worked so hard on Neverland this year! ✨🎄✨
Had to share this gorgeous 🎄 gift from my playgroup KK—a beautiful quote from one of my favourite authors and the little boat down the bottom is from my Neverland notebook. 💕 Playgroup has been one of the big highlights of the year for our fam and I don’t know what I’d do without you guys. Sticky hugs and smooshed banana kisses to you all 😘😘😘😘
I’ve had The Girl With All the Gifts by M R Carey on my radar for a while and finally picked up a copy at the library this week (thanks for the nudge, @ladymary_v). Frankie has a toddler’s keen sense for danger and I can’t take my eye off her for a second or she’ll be up on the roof or chasing sharks or hijacking a car OR SOMETHING WORSE THAT I HAVEN’T YET THOUGHT OF 😬 so I’ve only had the chance to read a couple of pages, but I am intrigued. A change of pace from my last couple of reads (The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker, The Power by Naomi Alderman and Lenny’s Book of Everything by Karen Foxlee)—gotta keep mixing it up!
I started reading Lenny’s Book of Everything yesterday morning and knew a few chapters in that I wouldn’t be going to bed until I finished. A book in a day is quite a feat when you’ve got a 14-month-old, but I couldn’t pull myself away from Lenny’s world. Oh, my heart! 💕 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heading out to teach a @writerssainc teen writing workshop at @adelaidecitylibraries this morning! We’re going to be having some fun with character development. 😊
Friends, if you’re looking for gift ideas for the emerging #writer in your life, take a look-see at the @kyd_magazine online writers’ workshops. They offer a range of fabulous courses and course bundles, including Introduction to Writing Young Adult Fiction by yours truly. Details at workshops.killyourdarlings.com.au
When the tip of your TBR is all matchy-matchy. ❤️🧡💛
Ready for you, Christmas! ✨🎄✨Don’t @ me about it still being November—the Adelaide Christmas Pageant has been and gone and that means it’s officially Festive Season!! Last year was a bit of a fizzer: I’d been busy with book editing stuff, Alex had just started a new job requiring lots of travel, Frankie was still a yelly little grub and all of us were extremely sleep deprived. But I intend to make up for it TENFOLD this year. There will be gingerbread. There will be fairy lights. There will be Josh Groban Christmas carols playing on repeat. 🤗
