  • hong-kong Hong Kong and Book 6 - Book 6 is going to be set in Hong Kong, and will feature Hazel's family. If Arsenic for Tea was Daisy's book, this is Hazel's - its plot is an idea that I've had in my head for a long time, and I can't wait to write. I've been to Hong Kong . . . once, when I was eight. But that really isn't enough to write my book. There's a lot that I want to get right, and a lot that I know I could get very wrong. And Hazel deserves the best! So I'm about to go on my most exciting research trip to date, to Hong Kong! I'll be doing lots of exploring and talking and taking pictures, and I'm so excited already.

  • Envelope by Arya Fan letters – Spring 2016 - Being an author is a wonderful job - I get to spend all day in my own made-up worlds - but I think my favourite thing about it is hearing from my readers. I read my emails fairly regularly - if you've sent me an email, I will usually reply to it in a week or two - but I only get author letters sent to me from my publisher about once every three months. Opening that bundle of post is basically AUTHOR CHRISTMAS for me (see how lucky I am? I get Christmas FIVE times a year, counting actual Christmas), and each time it happens I am more impressed than ever at how clever, thoughtful and talented you are. In here is just a selection of my favourite things from this batch - from now on, I've decided to share a selection of your fan creations on this website, to thank you properly for what you sent me!
