In December’s newsletter (catch up HERE if you missed it) Sarah Wishart shared a behind-the-scenes look at Four Good Liars, her brand-new YA thriller about four teens who find a huge stash of stolen money – and each of them has a reason for wanting to keep it.

It was okay to be yourself, instead of trying to fit in and be the same as everyone else. Not everyone has to like you.
Have you ever seen a ghost?
I’m not sure! I had a weird “ghostly” experience recently. My husband had a nightmare and dreamt there was a violent ghost in our bedroom. In the dream he woke up and looked at the alarm clock – it was 12.50am. He says he then woke up properly, without disturbing me, and it was around midnight. He went back to sleep. Later, I woke up screaming because I thought someone had sat next to me on the bed, and the person tried to clamber on top of me. My husband almost had a heart attack, particularly when he saw the time – it was 12.50 a.m. I have no idea what that experience was, but it freaked us both out!
