It's been a fantastic year so far with the launch of my first book, Twister, on February 1st. I'd like to thank all the educators, parents, librarians, bloggers and kids out there who have wholeheartedly supported the novel. It was an amazing moment when Twister was picked as the one must-read book for children aged 8-12 this summer by The Guardian. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that would happen.
