What I Write
| Writing Sample | “I can’t say I ever wondered what it felt like to be human. But then, my grandfather Grenat always said, It’s safer not to talk to your food – and as every dragon knows, humans are the most dangerous kind of meal there is.” – The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart (Bloomsbury Books), winner of the Cybils Award for Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction 2017. |
| What I Write | I write wildly romantic historical fantasy novels for adults and fun, funny fantasy novels for children. Oh, and short stories, too. 🙂 |
| Publications | For MG readers: The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart trilogy: The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart, The Girl with the Dragon Heart, and The Princess who Flew with Dragons (all published by Bloomsbury Children’s Books). The Kat, Incorrigible trilogy: Kat Incorrigible, Renegade Magic and Stolen Magic (all published by Atheneum Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster) The Raven Heir (upcoming from Bloomsbury 2021) For adults: Masks and Shadows and Congress of Shadows (both published by Pyr Books) The Harwood Spellbook series: Snowspelled, Spellswept, and Thornbound The Underwater Ballroom Society (co-editor) |
My Write-a-thon Goals
| Writing Goals | I want to write at least 10,000 words in the six weeks of the writeathon. |
| Fundraising Goals | I’ll be hugely grateful to anyone who sponsors me with a donation. I could never have attended the Clarion West workshop if I hadn’t been supported by scholarships myself, and it’s really important to me that other new writers get that opportunity, too. |
