This week we are talking to the talented debut YA author, Danielle Jawando. I had the pleasure to meet Danielle at my agent's Christmas party a couple of years ago. And The Stars Were Burning Brightly is her debut novel, and it tackles some very difficult issues, such as bullying, teen suicide, and grief.

This conversation with Danielle was an absolute pleasure, and I'm so pleased to be able to share it with you this week.

You can discover more about Danielle by following her Instagram or twitter profiles, and you can buy her wonderful book here.
