I have been appalling at updating my news here and I am determined to do better. So I thought I would make a start with a small but lovely piece of news. I am delighted to announce that I recently signed a Chain Of Title Agreement with Miss Conception films for a TV series, a story dear to my heart.

Rachael Craw’s YA title Spark has been optioned by New Zealand film company Miss Conception Films, fitting perfectly with their mission to “make films with strong female protagonists”. A perennial favourite among young-adult fiction fans, the gripping action and fast-paced narrative was always perfect for film.
