Words in deep blue by Cath Crowley: 23 Feb, 2017

"A second-hand bookstore, a love story, and a letter-library: all of these things are mentioned on the blurb of Cath Crowley’s new book, Words In Deep Blue. Really, why wouldn’t you want to read something that has these as offerings?" – Katherine Dretzke

Cath Crowley is an award-winning author of Young Adult fiction. Her novels include The Gracie Faltrain trilogy, Chasing Charlie Duskin, Graffiti moon and Words in deep blue. In 2011 Graffiti moon won the Prime Minister's Literary Award for Young Adult Fiction, the Ethel Turner Award for Young People's Literature, and was named an honour book in the Children's Book Council's Book of the Year.

Hey Cath, how do you maintain your discipline to write when there are so many distractions?

Hi Eoin, great question. With Words in Deep Blue and before, I was only writing at home, and the problem tended to be that I couldn't stop writing. Bit obsessed with it! But now I'm working full time I make sure I journal every day. So at least if I'm not writing a lot. I'm still writing. Do you find it hard to maintain a routine?
