\"\"The generosity of some writers astounds me. Five amazing writers just read my upcoming solo debut Towards White<\/em>, and gave my publisher IFWG Australia<\/a> five amazing quotes about it, all while juggling their own projects, writing and family. I had to know more. So today I\u2019m asking Joanne Anderton, what else were you doing while reading and quoting on the Towards White<\/em> ARC? Firstly, here\u2019s what she said about Towards White<\/em>:<\/p>\n

“‘Towards White\u2019 is a smart supernatural thriller, with a central mystery that is both heartbreaking and intriguing. Shapter blurs the line between technology and spirituality, all the while exploring a fascinating Icelandic setting through the eyes of a complex and driven female lead. It\u2019s a novel that delves deep into the nature of justice, religion and death, but at it\u2019s heart it\u2019s a story about family and the bonds that connect us all.\u201d Joanne Anderton, award-winning author of \u2018Debris\u2019\u00a0and \u2018The Bone Chime Song and Other Stories\u2019<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n

So, Jo, what were you up to?<\/p>\n

\n

1. What were you writing?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m in the middle of my masters in creative writing at the moment, so I was writing the proposal for my major work. It’s a ghost story. Because of course it is.<\/p>\n

2. What were you editing?<\/h3>\n

Slowly, sloooowly, editing a short story I wrote a few months ago. It’s taking a while because I’m squeezing it in between assignments and readings and workshops, oh my.<\/p>\n

3. What were you busy promoting?<\/h3>\n

Nothing much. Not yet anyway. Ask me again in March, when my children’s book ‘The Flying Optometrist’ is out, and then we can talk promotion!<\/p>\n

Thank you, Jo! I\u2019m so chuffed you enjoyed Towards White!<\/em><\/p>\n

Want to come to one of my book launches for Towards White<\/em>? There will be two \u2013 see below! You can also pre-order Towards White<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
