AFTERWARDS (originally published by Poolbeg Press, 2006)

Things fourteen-year-old Claudia worries about:

1) not being as cool as her two best friends

2) not having a boyfriend

3) not being as confident as her little sister

4) not being as smart as her older brother

5) not having anything she’s especially good at

Things Claudia didn’t think she needed to worry about:

1) whether her mum’s happy or not

2) what they’d all do if her mum left

3) whether her mum’s ever coming home

 

 

 

 

THAT GIRL (originally published by Poolbeg Press, 2007)

Kim’s not the sort of girl who stresses out – usually. But with her sixteenth birthday party coming up, she’s suddenly in panic mode. What if no one turns up? What if friends from different groups don’t get along? What if her overly-anxious stepfather – convinced that teenage parties lead to alcoholism and orgies – ruins everything?

It’s not as though there’s anything else on her mind. Definitely not anything to do with her boyfriend, Eddie, who’s absolutely perfect for her – an actual knight in shining armour (he even takes fencing lessons). And most definitely not anything to do with her brother’s best mate Michael, who knows her too well to ever look at her as more than just a friend . . . right?
