The State of the Rosie

What am I writing?
Still working away on the gay Victorian gothic YA. This month, I have mainly been making things painfully awkward for my main character, and also editing back in a previously-written scene involving vampires. 

BECAUSE VAMPIRES (c) Francis Ford Coppola

Survivors: The Exile's Journey is out on June the 26th! Storm, the beleaguered but heroic Fierce Dog has left her Pack in search of a better life, far from the judging eyes of her friends and the evil deeds of the Bad Dog - but as she travels further from the Pack, she finds herself coming closer to the truth...


What have I written?

I'm one of seven (!) writers who write under the pen name Erin Hunter. My first Erin book is Survivors: Dead Of Night.

My first novel Skulk, another YA urban fantasy, won a place in Undiscovered Voices 2012 and came out in October 2013 from Strange Chemistry. 

I've also written packaged books for Usborne (Secret Ninja Spies), Hot Key Books (The Last Apprentice), Little, Brown (Demon Hunters) and HarperCollins (but it's a secret).

Gif of the month?

What am I singing?
On Sunday the 30th of June in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana and the piece that musically inspired it, Stravinsky's Les Noces.

And?
There's another secret project in my future that I predict being able to talk about in... about 2020...
