Hallo lovers

My goodness, I’ve been sitting on this news, like a clucky hen sitting on eggs, for months and can not wait to share it with you.

For years, people have been asking me when Diary Of A Crush will be available as ebooks or just as regular books, because it’s been out of print for so long and I’ve been all like, yeah, whevs… Not because I didn’t care but because due to really boring and complicated legal issue, the matter was beyond my control. Well, not anymore.

I am thrilled, THRILLED, SO BLOODY THRILLED to tell you that the Diary Of A Crush trilogy will be available for download from April 30th.

That’s not all. Oh no! The books will be back in print too from May 30th, all with spiffy new covers.

FRENCH KISS

New town, new college, new people, Edie’s feeling overwhelmed. What if nobody wants to be her friend? But then something happens that turns her life upside down: Edie spots Dylan. Messy-haired, pouty, frustratingly elusive Dylan. . .

Fast forward to the college trip to Paris and things are really heating up. In between the shopping, the clubbing, the kissing and the making up, something happens between Edie and Dylan that changes both their lives for ever. But do boys like Dylan ever play for keeps?

KISS AND MAKE UP

Edie’s having major boy issues. Trying to get over Dylan is hard, but snogging new boy Carter isn’t hurting. . .

When everyone heads off to a summer festival, Edie wants to forget her troubles and try and have fun. But she didn’t count on her leftover feelings for Dylan and now she’s all churned up again. Edie’s got some big decisions to make, but is she ready to kiss and make up?

SEALED WITH A KISS

Edie and Dylan have been dreaming about their road trip across America for ever. But nine weeks in a car together is going to be a huge test for them. They’re crazy in love, but what if that’s not enough?

Trailer parks, diners, motels and glitzy casinos are the backdrop for an adventure that threatens the whole future of their relationship. Will Edie and Dylan be able to go the distance?

I have done a little tweaking and updating (I mean, Blazing Squad?!) but it’s the Diary Of A Crush that you know and love. And if you don’t know it then I’m going all out and calling it the iconic UK YA series that follows the torturous relationship of Edie Wheeler, vintage queen, diary keeper and crusher and Dylan, her tousle-haired art boy crushee. Set in Manchester, our intrepid pair fall in love, snog a lot and fall out of love in Paris, at a festival and even on a epic roadtrip across the States.

Diary Of A Crush changed my life. I learned how to write fiction as I wrote this series for J17 magazine. I got my first proper publishing deal for Guitar Girl, rafter my first editor, Emily, Thomas, read the Diary Of A Crush columns. And though they’re probably my poorest selling books, I get more messages about Diary Of A Crush than any of my other books.

I’m not quite done yet. You know how I refuse to write a sequel? Well, that’s still the case and I explain why in the end notes of book three, but for the first time since they appeared in J17, the year’s worth of columns featuring Poppy’s little sister, Grace, will be available too. Diary Of A Grace will be an e-novella, but if you wait until May 30th when the print books are reissued, you’ll find it at the end of Sealed With a Kiss.

Grace is in love with pink guitars, Harry Styles, dark-chocolate Tunnock’s teacakes, Audrey Hepburn and a boy called Jack (well, maybe not quite in love) . . .

(Remember, Diary Of A Grace will also be included in the Sealed With A Kiss paperback.)

It has taken a long, long, long time to make this happen. I hope you fall in love with Edie and Dylan all over again, or read them for the first time and then fall in love with them. There’s also a few little extras included in these reissues so now you can possess everything Diary Of A Crush that there ever has been. All for you. I give you all my Diary Of A Crush. Hurrah!

I am so excited that I wanted to write this whole post in shouty caps with lots of exclamation points but I’ve managed to restrain myself. Still, hurrah!

Live on

And, no, before you ask, I’m never writing a proper sequel!
