The Astrologer's Daughter

Just sharing the beyond-beautiful cover of my latest YA novel, "The Astrologer's Daughter" because I'm a huge fan of the photographer, Jessica Lia, who is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Look up her gallery, you will not be disappointed. She has an amazing eye.

If you loved "Mercy" and the crazy genre mash-up of YA mystery / thriller with touches of paranormal and romance in that, grab "The Astrologer's Daughter" which is available in (e)book and Kindle now everywhere, and is coming out in the US in July 2015.

Working on some new Mercy

For the patient people who have been asking, yes, I'm working on the next instalment in Mercy's story and I'm hoping to have something to my publisher in a couple of months.

If you're missing Mercy's world you might want to check out Azraeil's cameo in "The Astrologer's Daughter" and the first "reveal" of his kingdom, Sheol, in "Afterlight". Everything in my slightly freaky universe is connected...

Antiheroines

Belinda Crawford, world-weaver, tale spinner and self-confessed geek, was kind enough to interview me on Mercy as part of her 'Antiheroines' series where we explore how the antiheroine functions as an alternative "way to be" and also a way to bring greater representations of diversity into the reading experience.
