Hello, Ms. Messenger! I saw that you told another Goodreads user this: "I have actually sold one other book--a stand alone middle grade--that I'm not allowed to talk about yet. Hopefully soon." THEN I remember that you posted some Swifts you drew on Instagram and said: "Someday I'll be able to explain why this particular bird is so special, but not just yet." I just wondered if there was a connection? :) -Clara

There IS a connection. (And wow, you are paying close attention). Sadly, that's all I can tell you about that project for the moment. Not sure when I'll be allowed to say more. It won't be coming out until 2018, so probably quite a while longer. *impatient sigh*

Hello! I'm not sure if you'll be able to answer my questions, so if you can't, would you mind passing them on to your editor if s/he has the time to answer them? 1. What exactly does an editor do? 2. Are there any courses you should take in high school if you wanted to be an editor?

Hi, i know you've probably been asked this question already, but how invested are you in your novels? Like do you research specific subjects to make the story come to life? Do you write what you know or broaden your horizons to create a more in depth plot line? Okay.. that sounded strange, sorry!
