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 :)
