Claire Boston and I are looking forward to an amazing roadtrip across the Nullarbor. We’re going to drive cross country to end up in Melbourne for a writing conference, and are stopping to give talks at libraries along the way. Because we’re flying home, it will help for us to have a better idea of how many copies of our books we need to bring along on the trip for readers who want to buy copies, so please click the link below to fill in the order form I’ve created. For information about my books, please feel free to explore the website.

SKY RAIDERS is free on Amazon until Jan 15th.

The last winner is Carol – congratulations! And all the best to everyone for 2019!

Wow, we made it! Thank you for joining me for the last 24 days, everyone. It’s been great spending the last three plus weeks talking with you all every day 🙂

The last prize is all three ebooks in my Verdant String series. I hope everyone who has regularly commented has won something these last three plus weeks, and if not, you have one last chance!

I know we’ve talked recipes already, but that was about your general favourite. Tomorrow is Christmas Day, and I would love to know, if you celebrate the day, what dish you always make? And if you celebrate a different festival, which dish you make for that? Let’s hear about amazing food! 🙂 I always make marzipan fruit cake (the Nigella Lawson recipe from How to Be A Domestic Goddess). LOVE. THIS. CAKE!

(Just out of the oven.)

The winner today is Lisa! Congratulations, I’ll be in touch to get your books to you.

Wow, one day left to go! I hope everyone has had as much fun as I have.

The prize today is all three ebooks in my Sky Raiders trilogy. I really thought about this series for a long time before I wrote it, and it has a special place in my heart. For those who don’t have a copy of INTENDED, the prequel, it is exclusive to members of my New Release Notification list, so you can sign up in the little form on the right of this post and you’ll receive a copy.

The theme of Sky Raiders at heart is about the potential everyone has inside them. In a literal sense, Taya has had the potential to call a change the whole time, but needs to be out of her comfort zone to realize it. I loved playing with that theme throughout the series.

Do you care about themes in books, or don’t you notice them, you are just interested in a good story?
