💕💗 asked Ally Malinenko:

Hi there! How did you think of the story Ghost Girl? It is one of my absolute favourite book of all time!

Ally Malinenko hey there! Sorry about the delay - just seeing this now. Zee lived in my head as a character for a long time but I could never find the right story for her. I was listening to a song by Nick Cave that started with a big crash of thunder and it hit me. A storm. A stranger comes to town. And then it all came into place. I knew I wanted to talk about bullying and sticking by your friends so that was easy. And I knew I wanted to write about ghosts.

Thank you for reading Ghost Girl and for your kind words about it! It means a lot to me

What inspires you to write children's novels? Your Goodreads "read" list is very ecclectic and includes many adult-themed titles as well as biographies. I like the variety! PS - Your Lizzy Speare novel looks cute and full of fantasy fun.
