"The Sweet Life" will be available in the US and UK shortly. Allen & Unwin sent me an author copy today and it looks fantastic.

In my usual genre mash-up fashion, it's a thriller/teen romance set in Rome. So if you're a teen girl (or have a teen girl at home) who wants a short, fast armchair Roman holiday with a difference, check it out?

To celebrate the publication of The Astrologer's Daughter on 23 July 2014, the first reader anywhere in the world to private message me with their postal details gets a personally signed copy and an (e) hug from Melbourne, Australia x

* COMP NOW CLOSED, congrats to Mel*

My newest YA crime, thriller, mystery novel is out today, 23 July 2014 in "real" and (e) formats.

It's set in my beautiful hometown of Melbourne, Australia. Hope you enjoy it x

I'll be at The Moat (the bar under the Wheeler Centre's main space) on Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne on September 8th between 6.15 and 7.15 pm if anyone wants to come and say hello. I'll be reading from The Astrologer's Daughter and there will be readings from other authors, too.

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.

The Astrologer's Daughter is out now on Edelweiss and Netgalley for any interested reviewers and bloggers.

Official release date for the US is 9 June 2015 and for the UK is 25 June 2015.

Hope you love it x

The Astrologer's Daughter releases today (June 9) in the US and is available via Amazon, B&N, Target, Indigo, Bookdepository and good bookstores throughout North America.

If you're keen on a complex mystery/thriller that celebrates female tenacity and is set in a fictional world that is ethnically and socio-economically diverse (just like ours is), it could be for you.

Look out for Global Giveaway #2 next week. X

* Comp now closed, congrats to Obsessive Girl, look out for one more Afterlight giveaway next week xx *

To celebrate the release of Afterlight in the Southern Hemisphere this week, I've got one signed copy to give away to the first reader (from anywhere in the world) to PM me their postal details.

Giveaway closes 29 June 2015 x

To celebrate the new print, ebook and Kindle editions of my crime/mystery/fantasy novel The Astrologer's Daughter, which is set in Melbourne's Chinatown but also at an intersection between our world and Mercy's world, I'm giving away a signed copy to the first two readers who can tell me which archangel from the Mercy series makes a cameo appearance in The Astrologer's Daughter? (hint: I've blogged about this before and their name starts with A)

I'll pick the first two readers who leave a comment with the correct name in it.

Competition closes 15 March 2019. I'll DM the winners for their postal details and happy reading!

The new audiobooks for Whiffy Newton in the Case of the Dastardly Deeds, Whiffy Newton in the Riddle of the Two-Tone Trousers and The Astrologer's Daughter (narrated by me!) are each now available from audiobook retailers like Audible, Storytel, Scribd, Kobo and AudioBookstore.

If you're planning a road trip with your 7 - 12 year old and they're into funny, crime/detective/mystery caper/heist novels in the vein of The Red Hand Gang, The Five Find Outers, Geronimo Stilton and Encyclopedia Brown, give the adventures of Whiffy, Paz and Doreen a whirl.

If you're looking for a crime/mystery/thriller novel with a touch of the paranormal/occult set in Melbourne, Australia and spoken in deadset Melbourne vernacular, The Astrologer's Daughter may be for you.

Audiobooks for Wraith and Afterlight will follow in the coming weeks, so watch this space. Happy listening!
