It felt like coming home! Before writing Chemical Hearts, I wrote 3 (unpublished) manuscripts that were all fantasy or sci-fi. House of Hollow felt like returning to my roots and what I really loved to write. #YABookPrize

@km_sutherland This sounds great! House of Hollow was a change in direction compared to your previous YA novels - what prompted you to write a gothic fairy tale? Was it challenging to write in a different genre? #YABookPrize

I relate the most to Iris because she's the most normal. Your protagonist kind of has to be the most accessible character in order for the reader to connect with the story. My favourite to write was Grey, a woman with terrible, unchecked power #YABookPrize

@km_sutherland It definitely has a fairytale feel! Out of the three Hollow sisters, who was your favourite to write, and who do you relate to the most? #YABookPrize

I know this is a question for Adiba, but I'm going to chime in as well because tropes are so fun! My next book has elements of enemies to lovers and there's only one bed - tropes I love to read and have always wanted to try! #YABookPrize

#YABookPrize @adiba_j Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating focusses on the 'fake dating' trope. Is there another trope you'd like to try? If so, what would it be? @yabookprize

The three sisters in House of Hollow came to me immediately, on that first day. I'm one of three girls and had always wanted to write about the bond between sisters - plus three sisters going missing has a very fairytale feel to it #YABookPrize
The YA Book Prize@yabookprize

@km_sutherland That's so beautiful and mysterious - no wonder it inspired you! At what point did you think up the characters of the Hollow sisters? #YABookPrize

House of Hollow was first sparked on a trip to Sri Lanka's ancient capital, Anuradhapura. There were ruins where every part of the structure had fallen away except for the doorframe. I wondered - what would happen if those doors led somewhere unexpected?
