I'm almost back to being able to write as much as six hours a day .

My experience with My Sister Rosa showed me, once again, that I have a much easier time of it if I sell my novels after I finish them, not before. I'm lucky that I'm in a position where I'm able to do that.

I started writing a novel from the monster's point of view. It has its own difficulties but, I'm ashamed to say, it's much easier writing from a psychopath's point of view than from that of their empathetic opposite.

My Sister Rosa was bumped from the schedule. None of my books has ever been bumped before. It freaked me out.

I give people If You Came Softly when they demand proof that novels for teens can be as good as the best novels for adults.

In Australia we have a government actively undoing what little progress had been made on climate change and stripping money from all the important institutions such as the ABC, CSIRO and SBS.

The acclaim for Razorhurst means even more to me than usual because, let's be honest, Razorhurst is weird.
