Well, not really.
But you can ask her questions at ask.fm/CamFromEtiquette
Ask her anything - no singing up needed - but start each question with a chapter reference (she undergoes a bit of an attitude change, so her answers may change over the course of the book)
She'll answer questions about anything - her favourite things, what she's doing right now, who her best friends are...
If you're a writer, I can definitely recommend setting up an account for your protagonist, it massively helps characterisation.
In other news, TBFTND will be undergoing a huge edit this summer, I'll keep you posted.

Meet Cam!
Cam is Etiquette's MC - she's stubborn, obsessed with music that most parents deem "noise", and almost completely out of control. And more than anything, she does not want to be learning etiquette at a boarding school.
So, here's one page of how I imagine Cam's scrapbook - the Cam that we meet at the start of the story, anyway. She's pictured with her friends Billie (brown-haired) and Lauren (blonde). Apologies if you can't see the picture - drop me a comment and I'll try to fix it.
I'm not an absolutely brilliant artist, and I do all my pictures with ink pens and coloured pencils. Initially, I started drawing these pictures just to help me with characterisation, but now I'd like to include them alongside the story.
Please excuse the random butterfly in the corner of the page - it was printed on the notepaper and I wasn't concerned enough to do anything about it.

It's finally here!!
I just uploaded the first eight chapters of Etiquette to Authonomy, and I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of it!! Rather than being safe and sound on my computer, it is now out in the world for the first time, for everyone to see. They grow up so fast...
Due to the rather temperemental website, I can't upload my own cover - not for lack of trying. I've been sitting here at my computer for almost a solid hour hitting the refresh button.
I recently finished reading Ransom Riggs' Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and it was phenomenal: incredibly exciting and occasionally nightmare-inducing, but it also contained extremely likeable characters. And the vintage photography that accompanied the story was unbelievable, and very cleverly tied into the plot.
I can't recommend it highly enough, and I eagerly await the sequel. You can find the author's blog here - it's definitely worth a visit!
Until next time :)

Happy New Year!!
Welcome to 2013!
So, my YALF review period ended a few days ago and I have received so much great feedback - way too much to post here - and I can't wait to give TBFTND its much-needed makeover.
Etiquette will appear on Authonomy soon; it's really starting to take shape now, and I'm working on some artwork that will accompany the story! I might post a little taster here in the future.
I've just this minute finished reading 'Shift' by Em Bailey, which is so exciting that I actually choked on my hot chocolate at one point. If there was a list of top ten plot twists, Shift would definitely be on there.
Someday I will make that list, but for now I will return to my breakfast of homemade cake pops and the latest edition of Vogue - did you know that 48% of the time Kate Middleton holds her clutch bag with both hands?
