Hi Cat! Ahhh I'd love that but I've not heard anything from my publishers about that I'm afraid so I doubt there will be one :( if there is I'll be shouting about it!
Natasha Ngan
Aw thank you so much!!!!! <3
Natasha Ngan
Ahhh I wish! Nothing on that front yet but it would be a dream!

3, it's a trilogy!

That's a very difficult question with no 'correct' answer. Every survivor of sexual abuse reacts in different ways; each situation is different; each moment you can swing from one end of the spectrum to the other. I wrote GIRLS from my own experiences with sexual abuse, so I suppose a bit of all the girls mixed together.

Many in my head, from MG to adult, and I hope to put them onto the page once GIRLS is done! <3

That's how I see the Steels mostly! I think growing up with a lot of manga and anime and animal-like species in Chinese mythology kind of got me used to imagining animal-like people. I see the Moon demons a bit like this: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/15642...

Ah that's such a hard one! I think 'fire in, fear out'. It was a phrase that came totally unexpectedly but fits perfectly with Lei and her situation, and I've come to use it myself when I need a boost of courage!

Hi! Glamour is definitely in print, I've read a few French editions to help with my language :)

Thanks so much! <3 I have talked about worldbuilding in various interviews and podcasts, so if you have a Google you can find them! :) Hope the advice helps xx

There will be but I can't say which yet!
Natasha Ngan
Yes there are! They're being sent out now and I think you can request one via my publisher.

Hi! I don't know yet myself, but they've already been printed so it should be soon!

I've given lots of non-spoilery hints here :D https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Hi! I certainly have, but nothing that will be published yet, more just character studies I was doing when playing with the concept back at the beginning of the process. But what I will say is, if you're after something from her perspective... wait for book three.
Natasha Ngan
Absolutely! I'm a huge geography nerd (I studied it at uni) and am constantly inspired by the world around me :)

Hi! This is so great to hear! So, a) it's impossible to choose just one, but The Book Thief springs to mind the strongest when I think about this question, and b) ugh I get it ALL THE TIME. You just have to keep working around it. Sometimes that means stepping away from your work. Sometimes, especially on deadline, this isn't an option, so I just keep writing, keep dragging the words out no matter how awful it feels. Remind yourself that it doesn't have to be perfect. You'll change much in the edits anyway.
Good luck with your writing!
