Hi Maria For school I've got to write a story about being lost. So far I've wrote about a girl in the wood/forest and she's out hunting 132 days after the day she ran away and I was wondering what I could do next because I have no idea what the plot is about?

Hi Chelsea! To me, Plot can be described as this: the main protagonist wants X more than anything else in the world and on the way to earning/winning/achieving X there are obstacles that get in her/his way. How he/she overcomes these obstacles is your plot.
So figure out what your girl wants more than anything else and then throw lots of obstacles in her way to that goal - she's in the woods, so there can be bears, and lack of food, and poison ivy and other hunters, all those are obstacles to her goal.
I hope this helps! Good luck with your story.

Hi! I just finished Night Study in just over 24 hours (I would've done it in under if I could but I had to sleep!) after getting my hands on the book as soon as I was able! But I am devastated that I have to wait another year for the next book! Do we have an estimated release date other than just 2017? Also is there any chance you will be coming to Australia (specifically Melbourne) any time soon? Thank you! <3

This is a bit of an unusual question, but there's a jungle themed event I'm going to, and would love to dress up as a female Zaltana Clan member. What would you say would be the perfect outfit? I know they love bold and bright colours, but I would love some suggestions! Top, skirt, leggings if any, and shoes (although they probably don't wear them!) Thank you!
