Day Six of The Morgan Sisters Virtual Tour

18.11.12

It's Sunday... time to chill out and relax (preferably in front of a cozy log burning fire) and catch up with all your favourite TV shows. Sigh... I love Sundays. I'll be busy travelling back from a celebratory weekend in Lisbon though... but I hope to catch up with you all when I get back!
But before all that, come and check out the sixth day of the Virtual Tour where it's not me you'll find, but one of my main protagonists, Lana Beth Morgan who is posting on the awesome YA author Carlyle Labuschagne's blog.

Day Five of The Morgan Sisters Virtual Tour

17.11.12

Happy Weekend everybody! Its Saturday (YAY!) and also the fifth day of the Morgan Sisters Virtual Tour. XX It's also my hubby's 40th birthday!! So Happy Birthday, Michael!! XX
I'm delighted to be over at the Books Complete Blog today, talking about the naming process. How I came up with the names of the characters in The Ghost of Josiah Grimshaw. So do head on over to find out more!

And now, I've yet another fabulous review (*cue another happy dance*), from Amazon UK:
"This beautifully written story follows sisters Lana Beth and Emma Jane. I love the relationship between them and you can't help but smile when you read about them. They are total opposites yet exactly alike at the same time if you get what I mean. :) Lana, the girly shopaholic and Emma, the giggly goth have made some great new friends and gained some awesome powers. Loved the interesting characters and creative plot that leaves you guessing what will happen next with all the twists and unexpected turns *deep breath* but i feel sorry for Joe.I have read loads of books that start like this but WOW, what a way to take it Suzy!!! There are even more surprises as you dive further into the book. Can't wait to see what happens in the next books. You better hurry up Suzy because lord knows how much longer Emma will be able to wait to see prince charming again :)"

Day Four of The Morgan Sisters Virtual Tour

16.11.12

It's time for yet another awesome review, from Amazon!
"The Morgan sisters Lana and Emma both have paralyzing phobias, until a weird compulsion pushes them into their fear. What happens is transformative, and literally marks them for life (you'll understand when you read it). But add to this that now Em can see and speak to the ghost of Joe, the lovely boy she found washed up on the beach who died in front of her while clinging to her hand.
In a coma, he speaks to her, seeming to wake up, but he doesn't. Eerily this happens again with old man Grimshaw not long after, and he repeats the same strange event. Spooked, the sisters don't know what to do, but Joe the ghost is certainly friendly and fun. And explaining how they suddenly have tattoos to their parents is a hurdle they don't want to jump, especially as they can't explain how it happened.
Then life throws them in the deep end, they're off to London for work experience and instead discover their destiny while losing Josiah (the ghost). This is an epic adventure which I could not stop reading. Literally from page 2 I was in this hook line and sinker. I loved the bad guys, the graveyard antics, the talking dead, the superpowers of the kick-a** ninja chicks, and the rite of initiation the sisters go through.
This book is packed with twists, emotion, adventure, and some cute guys. There's no escaping your destiny, the Morgan sisters find this out the hard way while trying to save Joe, the ghost they feel responsible for. Paranormal adventure has never felt so real and authentic. This could be happening right now and you would accept it because this urban fantasy is that realistic."

#yaindiecarnival: Fiction fireworks

29.6.12



When I first read this week's theme, I thought, hmmm? fiction fireworks? What have I written about fireworks? What have I read about fireworks? But then my brain finally kicked into gear and I realised it's not necessarily in the literal sense. Scenes with such awesomeness that it sets fireworks off in your head... how about that?
Mother-in-law's fireworks, UK 2004
Well, that's happened to me a few times but I have a little secret to tell you....
I've just started a new YA series and I've got these massive fire crackers going off in my head, like all the time. I'm so super excited that I wanna shout about it! I even read the first few chapters aloud to my husband and I've never done that before (my husband is not interested in books, he never has been... he's more into his motorbikes than anything else). But his response was awesome... he loved it! I doubt he'll ever read the books himself (he says he's waiting for the movie version, bless) but I think he just might get me to read them to him!
So anyway, back to the series... I'm so excited I'm typing so fast right now, he he he. There are sparks going around my head. WEHAY!! Calma, calma... anyway, the series is about the Morgan Sisters who live on a small island just off the coast of England (Andilyse Island... but don't bother googling it as it doesn't exist in real life). They have all kind of adventures both on the island, in London and beyond. I'm not able to give any further details just yet but needless to say I'm loving creating it!
I was working on a chick lit book but the Morgan Sisters just wouldn't leave me alone so I had to forget about the other one for a while so I could concentrate all my efforts on them. I hope to have the first book out well before Christmas, but I'll keep you posted!
I've got a Pinterest Mood Board dedicated to the Morgan Sisters, if you'd like to check it out:
