Thank you all so much for your amazing message! I loved hearing about your reactions to the book, and the things you did with it. I don't find writing easy - Varjak Paw took me 5 years to get right. But all the hard work feels worthwhile when I hear from readers like you. Thank you so much for your wonderful message about Phoenix, and for reading it with your class! That book took me 7 years to write, but all the hard work feels worthwhile when I hear a response like that. And thank you so much for asking about my new books! Yes, I'm writing one right now - or possibly three! It's a trilogy called TYGER. I wrote about it in this blog post - have a look and see what you think... Said, S. F. (21 March 2023).

The truth about Phoenix is that I was just trying to write a story I wanted to read myself. I've always loved space stories, from Star Wars onwards, and wanted to write a really great one for young readers. What an amazing thing for a writer to hear - thank you! I'm so glad you loved Phoenix. It means a lot to me, because it wasn't an easy book to write. In fact, it took me 7 years to get it right, but all the hard work feels worthwhile when I hear from a reader like you. I was quite shy myself when I was younger, and often felt more at home in books than in real life, so I'm glad if reading books like mine can help you in difficult times, as my own favourite books helped me. Our favourite characters were Cludge (14 votes) Varjak (4 votes), Holly (3 votes) and one for scary Sally Bones! I wasn't really sure about this idea, but what about if the human leader goes down in a rogue assault by Axxa terrorists and humans retaliate by trying to kill the Axxa again. I have rarely feel compelled to write and thank anyone but in this instance I do. I have been reading Varjak Paw with my 9 year old son,soon to hit the double digits of 10 on 14th of December.

First things first, I don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite like this one; a true science-fiction epic that takes us on a journey across the stars.

I write the stories that I most want to read myself! All writers are really just readers who take one more step, and write the stories they want to read. You can do this too - all writers are readers, and all readers can be writers. I wrote a bit about this in this blog post. Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy Tyger - and in the meantime, I'll do my best to answer your questions:
