Hi Jessica
I'm releasing a book as Mila Gray. it's out in November and is called Run Away With Me.
I'm doing much more screenwriting than novels these days and that's keeping me busy.

Thanks! Try Out of Control next. The Sound is currently at script stage with Channel 4 which is very exciting. We will know by the end of the year if it's going to be a TV show. I'm the co-creator and writer on that so fingers crossed.
Hunting Lila is casting at the moment and we are about to issue a press release detailing the cast and director. :) Hopefully it will begin shooting before Christmas.

Thank you! I think you will like my other books. Maybe try Out of Control or Hunting Lila? I have done a few book signings in the UK but now I'm living in California and a little busy on other projects but watch my FB page for giveaways of signed books!
Sarah Alderson
Thanks - yes LOSING LILA is the sequel.
Sarah Alderson
Thanks so much! I don't have any news just yet, though things are happening behind the scenes. I'll let you know as soon as I'm able to!
Sarah Alderson
That's a great idea! I never thought about that. The next book is THIS IS ONE MOMENT - which is about Didi and then there's a third book called STAY WITH ME - which is a standalone with no crossover characters, which will be out in 2017.
Sarah Alderson
I'm not sure. It might not be. It depends if they buy it! The best thing to do is get it from the Book Depository! Sorry (but so happy you liked Come Back To Me!)
Sarah Alderson
No. There is a collection of short stories called Lila Shortcuts.
Sarah Alderson
Thanks! See my previous comments on this one. I get asked it all the time!
Sarah Alderson
Read Losing Lila and all your questions will be answered!

Thanks! I'm not sure. For the moment just two, plus all the short stories in the Lila shortcuts collection. : )
Sarah Alderson
Thank you! That is so lovely to hear.
Have you read Out of Control or Conspiracy Girl? Those were my last two YAs. You can also download an extra chapter from Losing Lila from my website for free.
Otherwise my next Mila Gray - This Is One Moment is out in August!
As is my non-fiction book Can We Live Here?
I've been very busy the last six months working as a screenwriter (Hunting Lila is hopefully going to start shooting early next year!).

Ha! I lived in Bali which really helped as the lifestyle was so much slower and less stressful. I wrote every day for about 7 hours a day. I really commit to showing up and writing every day until I've finished the book.
I also type really fast!

It depends on the book of course but usually a fair bit. For Out of Control I spoke to friends who work on human trafficking issues for the UN and also to a friend who trains people on personal security and what to do in the event of kidnapping etc. I also interviewed someone who works in danger zones about the contents of a 'go bag'.
For my last Mila Gray book I did a lot of reading up on Post Traumatic Stress.
In terms of setting almost all my books are set in places where I have lived or at least travelled.
My favourite time to write is whenever I feel inspired, but as it's also a job (I screenwrite as well as write novels) I have to treat it as such. So I get up and set myself deadlines every day for how many words or pages I'm going to get done. :)

Conspiracy Girl just came out (feb '15) and I have a Mila Gray out in August and my non-fiction book CAN WE LIVE HERE? is also out in August. I don't have another YA scheduled as yet as I've been really busy working on the Hunting Lila movie and other film scripts. But it will come!
Sarah Alderson
It is already. Unless you are in the US in which case it won't be out until December 15.
Sarah Alderson
I hope so! We're just waiting for the movie to get the green light and are casting!

Their surname is Loveday.
Sarah Alderson
No! They are just extra content if you want to know more about the back stories of some of the b-characters like Suki.
