Welcome to Barren Island Books, the author interview series that’s in no way related to a popular music-based radio programme. You know the rules by now: my guests are exiled to a remote island with only five books for company, selected from the categories I give them. It’s up to them to make sure they choose wisely, because they’re going to be stuck with those books for a long, long time …

My interviewee this week is Christi J. Whitney, author of young adult fantasy novel Grey (the first book in the Romany Outcasts series)
 – out today from Harper Voyager! When she's not being banished to a desert island, Christi can be found at christijwhitney.com.

Barren Island Books character interview: Helen Wheels

18/4/2015

0 Comments

 
Welcome to an interview-with-a-twist in the Barren Island Books series! The rules remain the same: guests imagine they’re being exiled to a remote island with only five books for company, selected from the categories I give them. But the twist is, these guests aren’t authors but fictional characters.

My interviewee this week is Helen Wheels, narrator of 'Audi' – one of the stories in the newly released anthology Riding in Cars with Girls by Evangeline Jennings. Helen is a sixteen-year-old Londoner who – along with her best friend/partner Wendy – makes a living by rather unorthodox means, stealing cars and driving for a ruthless crime lord. But the girls have a plan to break away from it all by putting their unique skills to the test …

Adventures in Publishing, vol. 5

5/4/2015

5 Comments

 
A short one this week, and mainly to say that I'm not going to be able to post much in the way of blog content over the next couple of months. This is partly because it's now less than three months until Darkhaven's release (!) and so I'm busy with editing, writing guest posts, answering interview questions, etcetera. And also partly because if I have any wonderful ideas for new blog posts, I'm going to have to keep them for the blog tour or I'll run out of stuff to talk about. However, the upcoming weeks are full of people clamouring to be exiled to the Barren Islands – sometimes two a week – so it's not as if I'm turning the lights out or anything.
