My latest YA novel, Spotlight, is not remotely about me, yet has so much of me in it. It is definitely more connected to who I was, who I am, and my life experiences than my other three YA novels.

I had two teachers who made such a difference in my sense of self that I am convinced they changed the trajectory of my life. Autumn, the main character in Spotlight, is also fortunate to have one of those special educators. I had such great pleasure writing that teacher through Autumn���s lens.

Those in the educational field do not often get to see the impact they have on the future of their students. And some days it���s tough for them to believe that what they do is worth the sleepless nights. But, it is the faith that they can somehow make a difference that drives the great ones. I always thought this short adaptation, called The Starfish, captured that perfectly. The boy���s words became my mantra as a teacher and as a principal, so it���s not entirely surprising that the concept has found its way into my writing.

I look forward to you meeting Autumn and seeing her special relationship with her music teacher. Here���s to all the educators who pick up starfish every day.

I am lightly revising/editing my favourite YA and wondering what to do with it next. ���� Like my others, I tackle issues, but it���s about following your passion, discovering what matters, and falling in love. It has all the feels. I���m determined to see it out in the world. Did I mention it���s my favourite YA?����

I am lightly revising/editing my favourite YA and wondering what to do with it next. 🤔 Like my others, I tackle issues, but it’s about following your passion, discovering what matters, and falling in love. It has all the feels. I’m determined to see it out in the world. Did I mention it’s my favourite YA?😉

Couldn't put it down!

Every time I pick up a book by Rose Phillips, I can't put it down, and this one also kept me up late! I loved the pace, the instant attraction between Chloe and Derrick, and the gradual deepening of their relationship. Also that on-tenterhooks feeling of not wanting them to be pulled apart but knowing that things are going to get rocky before they get even better. 

A great read for both teens and adults!
