“I was looking at the storm clouds above my head when Brody said,
"Look Sophie-"
He was clamping and unclamping his fists, and his eyes were green with frustration.
"What?"
There was no answer
In half a step forward and less than a second, his right hand touched my hip, his left hand seized my jaw - and Brody Meine was kissing me.”
Van Badham, Burnt Snow

“His eyes locked on mine and my voice went a few notes high when i said
"How could Ashley guess you were with me?"
Brody said, " Because I don't think she's blind."
We stared at each other. We were both breathing heavily.
With one step across the room, i seized his face and kissed him.”
Van Badham, Burnt Snow

“You kissed Kylie" I protested
"Yes, I did. Right in front of you," he said, stepping forward again.
"Brody-"
Hi face was centimetres from my face. Every cell of my skin anticipated his touch. My head and back were pressed into the door. "You afraid of something 1919? You know I'm not going to do anything until you do.”
Van Badham, Burnt Snow

Matilda Hello, I’m just curious, is there any updates on white rain? I loved burnt snow 😁


Chelsey Brockett Hi, I have read Burnt Snow SO MANY TIMES!!! Huge fan :) But what happened to White Rain??? I have never found it anywhere and it's not in your list of published books? I am really sad because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!! This has been bugging me and my mother since we've read Burnt Snow, which was when it first came out!!! 5 years ago!!!


Rebecca Jane Thank You!

Hey Bec,

White Rain is nearing completion and will be out within the year. Sophie's pretty motivated to find out what's happened to Brody, too - so you're not alone there. :)

In the meantime, I'll post all 'White Rain' updates on my blog: www.vanbadham.blogspot.com. At the moment, I'm running a twitter competition where the prize is a specially inscribed copy of Burnt Snow as well as a collection of other books in a SPOOKY BOOK PACK. All details are on the blog. Thanks for reading, and keep in touch.

xx
