I’m so excited to share the US/Aussie/NZ cover for Trapped, book two in The Deadlands trilogy. It will be hitting bookshops in October.
Huge thanks to Phantom City Creative for the cover illustration and Rich Deas for the design.
(UK friends, I’ll share your version of the cover soon!)
It’s release day for The Deadlands: Hunted in the UK!
I’m so excited to see this edition out in the world. (Check out the shiny gold typography! Doesn’t it look fancy?)
UK friends, I hope that you have lots of fun reading it!
It’s release day! The first book in The Deadlands trilogy is roaring onto bookshelves across the US, Australia and NZ today. (UK friends, it will hit your shelves next month!)
I’ve been working on this trilogy for the last few years — and it has certainly been a tumultuous time. In addition to writing three books, I got married, moved house twice, experienced the Melbourne lockdowns, changed roles at my day job… and even gave birth to my first baby!
Despite all these recent changes, one thing has remained steady: my work on this trilogy. I’ve had an absolute blast writing The Deadlands. These books are full of all my favourite story elements: magic, courage, friendship and adventure.
It’s always a bit scary to launch a new book into the world, having no idea what readers will think. I hope that you enjoy reading this one as much as I’ve loved writing it!
Guess what just arrived in the mail? It’s my first author copy of HUNTED.
This is always such an exciting part of the process; it’s such a thrill to hold the book in my hands for the first time! Hard to believe that publication is just six weeks away…
PS: There’s a T-Rex lurking in the foliage! Can you spot it?
I’m excited to share the cover for the UK edition of The Deadlands: Hunted. Huge thanks to Martin Bustamante for the amazing artwork!
This edition will be published in the UK by Walker Books in May. I can’t wait to share my gang of prehistoric misfits with you all!
So excited to reveal the US cover design for my next book!
HUNTED is the first book in my new middle grade trilogy, THE DEADLANDS. It will be published in the US on 4 April 2023 by Henry Holt (Macmillan).
Huge thanks to Phantom City Creative for the cover illustration and Rich Deas for the design.
Over the past year, I’ve been working hard on my new middle-grade trilogy about warring dinosaur kingdoms. This series now has a new name: THE DEADLANDS.
I’ll have more news to share over the coming months, including the US cover design. (I’ve had a sneak peak at the cover and it looks amazing!)
I’m thrilled to announce that CRETACEA, my new middle-grade trilogy about warring dinosaur kingdoms, will be published in the US by Henry Holt Books for Young Readers in 2023. 📖 🦕
I’m having a “roarsome” time writing these books and can’t wait for you all to meet the dino crew!
