West of the Moon tour (15)

I'm spending this morning  at My Favourite Books where there's a lovely review of the first part of 'West of the Moon', plus a giveaway, plus an interview in which I answer some questions about what, for me, is the hardest thing about writing, what makes an author 'successful', researching folklore and more.

(Incidentally when you've read it, scroll down to Liz's review yesterday of the new Melissa Marr novel, which sounds rich and dark and wonderful.  Can't wait!)

West of the Moon tour (14)

I've been stopping at The Bookette for a couple of days now, and - hooray! - today there's a lovely review from Becky the Bookette herself, along with a giveaway of 'West of the Moon'.  Hurry on over there if you'd like to see what she thinks of my book, and perhaps also check out my yesterday's post of British YA and children's book recommendations. 

In the (highly unlikely) case you haven't seen it before, the logo above is for Becky's initiative, the British Books Reading Challenge, promoting our wonderful home-grown titles.  Not that we don't love ALL YA fiction, you understand, but sometimes it's good to wave the flag a little!

West of the Moon tour (13)

Today I get a welcome break from talking about my own books.  Vicki and Lyndsey at Heaven Hell and Purgatory Book Reviews run a great feature called 'So I Say Thankyou For The Books', in which guests get to talk about some of the books we've loved and which have influenced or guided us.  You're bound to recognise many of the titles that have meant so much to me over the years... what would your own list contain?
