Hey Maria, I was just wondering why the study series is often classified as Young Adult? Yelena was 19 (I believe?) in Poison Study, isn't that a bit older than the average YA heroine? In saying that, regardless of what the series is classified as.. it is absolutely brilliant! Keep up the good work!!

Hi Sylvia! I'm glad you enjoyed the book. 19 is a bit older for a YA heroine and when I wrote Poison Study, I considered it an adult fantasy novel and that's how it was published back in 2005. Then I kept getting emails from YA readers who loved the book and didn't care about Yelena's age and then Twilight hit big and all the publishers were looking to release YA books. So they re-packaged Poison Study as YA. Interesting side note - I'm only published as a YA writer in both the UK and Australia.

Hi! I just finished Night Study in just over 24 hours (I would've done it in under if I could but I had to sleep!) after getting my hands on the book as soon as I was able! But I am devastated that I have to wait another year for the next book! Do we have an estimated release date other than just 2017? Also is there any chance you will be coming to Australia (specifically Melbourne) any time soon? Thank you! <3
