Hey, I'm Philippa Cameron, the author of three Young Adult books. I love reading Young Adult novels. And books from other genres too. Any of them. All of them. Good thing, then, that I'm also a librarian...

My website philippa-cameron.com contains all my book news, while my blog focuses on my work as a librarian.

When I first had the idea for the plot for Every Move I Have Made, I knew that parts of it were going to be quite dark. Immediately I saw a large, suffocating hole filled with dark water, but it wasn't so much the water that is menacing, but whatever is closing it in and causing it to be dark. That was my quarry! And as I wrote, the quarry became more and more integral to the story, so it worked brilliantly.(less)

It's based on one of my characters from The Day We Are Born - readers have been asking if I'm writing a sequel because they want to know what happened next... I'm working on another book at the moment, so I've written a short story in Elle's best friend Libby's voice to keep my readers happy!(less)

Philippa’s Quotes

“Why so much grief for me? No man will hurl me down to Death, against my fate. And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you - it’s born with us the day that we are born.”
― Homer, The Iliad
