My #LoveOzYA novel NEVERLAND is out now!

NEVERLAND cover

Show some Insta love: @project_lectito

I have cake. I have tea. I have books. And I am ready for the weekend 😁 This is a special one because it’s my BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!! 🥳 Keeping it low key this year but looking forward to hanging out with my fam on Sunday and finding a few quiet hours to enjoy The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths, which is—wait for it—Gothic. Campus. Crime. ALL MY FAVES!! 😍🙌
Frankie’s learning that the hardest part of story writing is knowing how to begin.
Rare morning with just me and the furbabies at home. Making the most of it by reading and writing in bed. #luxury 📚📚📚📚📚 CR: Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil by Melina Marchetta
Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my best friend, husband, baby daddy and the love of my life, @pahhen 💕🎂
Squeezing in a mini writing session while Frankie naps. Determined to get this beast of a draft done by the end of Feb.
Current read! Enjoying this tricksy-twisty take on the traditional country house murder mystery. It’s an ambitious story—I have no idea how Turton kept all the overlapping timelines and clues clear in his head while writing it and I’m very intrigued to see how he pulls off the ending. Because mystery novels live or die by their endings, am I right? 🧐 Thanks for sending a copy my way, @bloomsburypublishing! 😘😘😘
I read #TheRift in the midst of Christmas chaos (which is why I’m only getting around to posting about it now 🙈). Absolutely loved it! One of my favourite (and most anticipated) YA reads of 2018. @rachaelcraw does an incredible job crafting a complex world with very little exposition (how???) and a thrilling narrative full of action, action, action (and a little romance too 😉). There’s a special place in my heart for books set on islands, and I absolutely LOVED Black Water Island in The Rift. 🙌 all round.
My husband (@pahhen) took this photo of me working the other night while he was outside fixing his bike. This is how writing life looks for me—getting down words after Frankie’s asleep (even before she was born, I preferred working at night). But I like the way this pic also captures something of the necessary ‘aloneness’ of writing that I find both comfortable and disquieting. It’s part of being an author that isn’t often visible, so thought I’d share.
Backyard summer reading 🤗🍃☀️ I’ve just started The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, and borrowed Mum’s copy of Melina Marchetta’s Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil after reading a few pages at her place last night, AND I’m still listening to Michelle Obama’s Becoming. So I guess I’m reading three books now? 🤷‍♀️ (That’s two too many for me, but we’ll see how it goes! 😅)
