Read The Synopsis of JASMINE'S STORY!! Out Soon

I'm currently putting the finishing touches to the copy edit of THE DECISION: JASMINE'S STORY and all the various listing stuff. I'm hoping it will go live on Amazon this week, so keep your eyes on social media for the big announcement!

I wrote an original draft of JASMINE in the summer of 2012 when I was on chemotherapy, so it was quite a revelation to re-read that manuscript. Let's just say LOTS of it was pretty wild!  Also, writing a second book of a series set in the same location / storyworld of Winby was WAY harder than I thought it would be! There's so much you need to weigh up: is too similar? Too different? What additions should be made to the storyworld? Are the characters different enough to the original book's characters, without seeming completely OTT? What theme should I pick? What subject matter should I explore? So many decisions!! (Yes, yes ironic, arf). Anyway, I go into more detail talking to author of Binary Witness Rosie Claverton, HERE.

Needless to say, the current draft of JASMINE is very different to that mad 2012 one and you can read a short synopsis HERE.

To celebrate, this week on The Decision Facebook page  I am reflecting on the release of THE DECISION: LIZZIE'S STORY and its social media strategy all week. I'll be talking transmedia, reviews, allies and more - so make sure you "Like" the page to keep updated.

As ever, you can also follow @LizziesDecision on Twitter and the Pinterest board, The Decision: YOUR Story for news and articles about teenagers and the issues concerning them. There's also now The Decision Tumblr, which now includes introduction blogs to the two main characters of the new book, written in their "own words" too - just click their names below.
