A second teen/YA is with my publisher. The protagonist is a boy with Down’s syndrome. Excited to be working on this with them next. #ukteenchat

I like to write in silence although with builders in this week I have discovered I can write with a hammer drill in the next room. I write better in the mornings and preferably at the kitchen table with a view outside #ukteenchat

I am wearing my pantser undies right now! I am a total pantser who strives and fails to be a perfect plotter! But my brain likes the freedom to roam despite any constraints I try and impose #ukteenchat

That friendship is powerful and can change depending on the situation. In Flyboy Eddie gives Jude what he needs and vice versa #ukteenchat

I have watched and loved the films but think a certain Stuart White and his Star Wars analogies lured me across to the vortex 😁 #ukteenchat

The Star Wars set one surprised me most as it became a highly emotional chapter #ukteenchat

4, The book explores themes of illness, grief and first love while still making room for humour. How did you find the balance between those moments? @debbierox.bsky.social #ukteenchat #Flyboy

I chose challenges Eddie creates in order to get Jude out dating etc. The challenges morphed into a vehicle for Eddie to help Jude face a future without him. A couple were taken from Eddie’s original list #ukteenchat

I overheard two boys I worked with discussing an emotional topic. One of them suddenly started speaking in the voice of Bart Simpson as a strategy to cope. I made Jude and Eddie huge Star Wars fans so they could slip into those character voices. #ukternchat

Reading is important when you're a writer. I don't actively read the type of genre I'm writing in as I'm writing a book - as I don't want any cross-contamination! So I read other genres then #ukteenchat

I always tell my students in my creative writing sessions to read very widely across all genres. It helps you to find your voice as a writer. I read everything growing up and I still do today. and I think this has definitely helped me make the cross from thrillers to horror so easy! #ukteenchat

I’m a bit superstitious, so I don’t like talking too much about a work in progress, but… I hope to continue in the horror vein for a while. I also have another thriller in mind. I'd love to continue to write across different age groups for children – from very young to teen/YA. #ukteenchat

Not really - as long as I have a cuppa on the go. I’m writing in my kitchen with a view of the woods. I love working there, seeing the changing seasons. They inspire different moods. My cat has me up and down like a yoyo to open the door for him, so I never get too comfortable! #ukteenchat

Absolutely! And it only needs to be a very rough outline at most. Sometimes, I don't even know exactly how a book will end! #ukteenchat
