I recently went on a whirlwind mini-book tour, which took in a fabulous performance of Matilda and a new set of author photos, as well as book events at Waterstones in Liverpool and London Piccadilly. Those events were about 'rebels and runaways' in Young Adult fiction, and both were with E Lockhart and SK Wright. Discussions in both cities were great and went off at some amazing tangents.
My daughter and I are both huge fans of E Lockhart and it was wonderful to hang out with her. I highly recommend Sk Wright's novel, It Ends with You, to anyone who enjoys a super-dark YA mystery, and she's also a lovely person!
This was the first time I'd seen the samplers from The Girl Who Came Out of the Woods, which was exciting. I can't wait for publication in May, but for now I'm hard at work copy editing it.

The Other Girl
One of them - privileged, chaotic - is heading to an exclusive Swiss rehab centre following months of partying and living wildly. The other - who couldn't be more different - is down to her last penny, running away. When they get off the train they are both pretending to be the other. Just for a short period, of course. Just until the rehab stint is over . . .
