Cover reveal for January!

I’m delighted to announce that my first YA sci-fi novel, January, is coming out with Evernight Teen on 21 March!

January

Leon knows January is trouble. She has magical hair with a mind of its own – and powerful enemies on her trail. When they track her down, Leon is caught up in her fight to survive. But January’s past is catching up – and it might just destroy them both… 

January is a novel I wrote back in 2021. It was definitely inspired by the fact that my own hair just gets everywhere. I started thinking how useful it would be if my hair was semi-sentient or prehensile – and January was born!

January is a standalone contemporary sci-fi novel, perfect for fans of The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. I’m so excited to share it with you!

The cover

One thing that attracted me to Evernight Teen was their gorgeous covers – so I was very excited to see what their creative artists came up with for January. I think the subject matter is quite hard to portray (a girl with sentient hair that has all kinds of abilities) and the team did a brilliant job of capturing how I envisaged January. I often described her hair has having an almost electrical quality about it, as if every strand is a live wire, and the cover absolutely nails that.

Are you ready for January?
