THE WOLF’S HOWL (Maven & Reeve #2)<\/strong><\/a> has been out for a month and, despite the fact I’ve been unable to leave home, I’m only just catching my breath. The pandemic may have changed the way a book launch has to operate, but it seems it’s no less busy.<\/p>\n

So I felt it was time for a little update.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Book Week news<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I managed to visit four schools and a book club during Book Week 2021. Zoom visits are more intimate than face-to-face author talks in some ways \u2013 you certainly get a close-up view of what everyone’s up to in the crowd! I talked about some of my experiences on episode 18 of the Your Kid’s Next Read podcast<\/a> if you’d like the insider view.<\/p>\n

A highlight of Book Week is always the costume parade and given that I was unable to attend any in-person this year, Megan, Allison and I decided to bring the Book Week Parade to us in the Your Kid’s Next Read Facebook group<\/a>. It was an amazing virtual event with 220+ entries, and allowed us all to put books front and centre \u2013 which is what it’s all about. Join us for the next event<\/a> (not that I even know what that might be yet!)<\/p>\n

My favourite costume of the week? How could I go past Megan from Children’s Books Daily all dressed up as Maven?<\/p>\n

REVIEWS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“A powerful tale of danger, mystery, loyalty and betrayal… THE WOLF’S HOWL is recommended.”\u2060<\/em>
\n\u2060
\n“I would unquestionably rate this novel 5\/5 stars.”<\/em>\u2060
\n\u2060
\n“It\u2019s such an exciting series, and one to follow for sure as each book is released.”\u2060<\/em>
\n\u2060
\n“A series not to be missed by those younger readers who enjoy books involving more substance and thought.”\u2060<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve been thrilled by the reviews of THE WOLF’S HOWL, and have finally updated that page on my website to showcase some of them. Check it out for the full reviews.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
INTERVIEWS<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Huge thanks to Dr Helen Edwards for this interview<\/a> on her blog. Read it for insights into the inspiration behind The Wolf’s Howl and other fun facts like why I want my boys to learn to make their beds every morning…<\/p>\n

For a slightly different take, Val interviewed me for So You Want To Be A Writer podcast, asking me for the secrets of a successful writing career. You can hear my thoughts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve got more to share, but I’ll save it for another next exciting instalment!<\/p>\n
