📮 I'm about to hit the post office and send all the pre-orders of I Know What You're Hiding!

I first pitched this story to my agent in 2017, and it's very exciting to be so close to sharing it with the world. If you know a young teen who loves creepy mysteries, this is your last chance to pre-order a signed copy for them. I'm also selling autographed copies of a few other titles if you want to double up and save on shipping. But don't wait, because I refuse to go to the post office more than four times a year, so tomorrow I'll be marking all stock as unavailable.

I have a long history of missing the obvious, so I didn't realise Hemlock & Silver was a retelling of Snow White until the poisoned apple showed up. I'm glad, because remixed fairytales aren't really my thing, but this one excels on every level. Anja is a wonderful narrator, simultaneously dry, awkward and obsessive. Her slow-burn romance with her bodyguard is downplayed but fun. The magical element takes time to emerge, but when it does, it lands with a chilling thud (then scuttles away on hundreds of human fingers). Most of all, I loved the sentences, each of which gleams like a well-polished mirror, reflecting the fantasy world so clearly the reader feels like they could step right into it. Highly, highly recommended.
