Here is my interview with Victoria Gemmell
Thanks to Fiona at Authors Interview for asking me all about my debut YA novel Follow Me…
Name Victoria Gemmell
Age 30-something (I like to keep people guessing J )
Where are you from I was born in Inverclyde, Scotland, then lived in a little village on the outskirts of Renfrewshire. I now live in Paisley.
A little about your self `ie your education Family life etc
I studied an undergraduate degree in Communication and Mass Media at Glasgow Caledonian University. A lot of my studies in Pop Culture during this time have influenced the ideas in my novel Follow Me. After graduating and working for a while I returned to University to study a Post Graduate qualification in Careers Guidance. I’ve been a careers adviser now for about nine years and work with teenagers on a daily basis.
Fiona: Tell us your latest news?

Launch Night ~ Waterstones, Argyle Street, Glasgow
So excited to reveal that my launch for Follow Me will be in the Argyle Street branch of Waterstones in Glasgow on Friday 9th October at 6.30pm. There will be drinks, some nibbles and of course book signings! I’ve been lucky enough to attend book launches in the past for writer friends and it feels amazing to know this time I will be the author at the event.
Read my book blurb here on the website of my publisher, Strident.
Come along to the event and hear more about the inspiration behind my book!
Final Cover Reveal!!
The cover design for Follow Me went through some last minute, quite dramatic, changes the other week and I am delighted to be able to reveal the final finished version above. The artwork/photography is by artist Ida Henrich, and I am really happy with how it turned out. It makes everything feel very real seeing my name on a book cover!
I was lucky to be consulted about my cover (I wonder how many authors are?). My publisher, Strident, even asked me to write a short brief of any ideas I had before work began. I had always visualised woodland being central to the image as Eddison Woods is a central feature in my story (and leads to the Barn). I love the green light in this too.
The release date is 30 September, so not long to go now. As my counter states on my home page – 21 DAYS TO GO!
My launch event still to confirmed – will post details as soon as I know…
Blog Feature
Hi all,
Just a short post to alert you to the fact that I am featured on Margaret Montgomery’s fantastic blog, Notes from the Blunder Ground, today. You can read the post here
Margaret’s debut novel, Beauty Tips for Girls, was released in March, published by Cargo, and is a brilliant book. (you can read my review of that here).
You’ll maybe notice from the image on Margaret’s feature that the cover for Follow Me has gone through some last minute changes… I’m still waiting on the absolute final version, but it will look pretty close to that one and I love it!
The release date is creeping ever closer…
