BOOK DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT

(08/08/2018)

I HAVE HUGE NEWS!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm going to be traditionally published! The U.S. publisher Feiwel & Friends (Macmillan) has bought my debut IN THE SHADOW OF THE SUN and its sequel!

I've been working on those books for many months now (hence the delay in updating THE YOUNG AND THE DARK, sorry!). Here is the pitch for it:

"France, 1661 - Henriette of England must navigate her arranged marriage to Louis XIV's brother while keeping her magical abilities a careful secret from all at the Sun King's court, but when a mysterious sorcerer uses a forbidden spell to murder royal magicians, she must decide if she will reveal her powers to help Louis defeat him and build a new, enchanted seat of power -- the Palace of Versailles."

I have been seeking traditional publication for nearly 7 years (!) and it's a dream come true for me. When I was ready to give up, Wattpad has helped me reconnect with my love for writing, and I'm incredibly grateful to all of you who've supported me since I joined this platform.

I'm absolutely delighted to share this great news with you at last, and I can't wait for you all to meet Henriette and follow her magical adventures at the French court!
