EEEEK! SNEAK PEEK...
Take Two publishes on 26th January and we're stressing out!!
But then Elektra (our main character) has got some worrying problems too. She's finally got a big role in a film so dystopian that half the cast and all of the crew wish the world had actually ended.
Here's a sneak peek from Chapter 5:
"I was getting stressy about the 'girl saving the world' thing. Not with the concept that a girl could save the world, although that's ridiculous for a billion reasons, none of which have anything to do with gender. I was more immediately worried about being low on world saving skills. I famously have no combat skills. I can't climb trees or mountains or towers (even towers that aren't on fire as they so often seem to be). There are stairs I struggle with. I can't build a shelter. I struggle to get the duvet cover on. I'd literally woken up at 3 a.m. this morning, panicking because I didn't know how to start a fire with matches and firelighters far less twigs or flints or whatever people who can save the world use. It's my parents' fault for not calling me something like Bear.'

We're on Tumblr
with some blog posts and some frankly random posts and probably not entirely justifiable pics of Nicholas Hoult and others...

Happy New Year!
At some points in 2015 (mostly when we were deep in the tunnel of edits) it felt like January 2016 would never arrive but now our publication date is terrifyingly close...
2016 is going to be an exciting year for us and we wish you all every happiness, Happy New Year!

Give Away!
What could be nicer in our first Goodreads post than to be able to flag up a give away! Our lovely publishers have put TEN copies of our limited edition PROOF up for grabs and we're really excited (and a bit scared...) that that means ten more pre-publication early readers! & of course we really hope that the winners have a lovely time reading Waiting for callback. P&H xx
