All About Me

I'm the author of two Young Adult novels, The Day We Are Born and Every Move I Have Made, as well as the novella So We Beat On. For more information about my books, click on the book names to visit their GoodReads pages, or visit my author website, www.philippa-cameron.com  

So, what's my day job?

I am the head of the media center (very fancy name for a librarian) and a teacher of information and digital literacy at an all-girl high school. This means I am a prolific reader of Young Adult books, needing to keep up with the trends and the best books out there in order to keep up with my students' voracious reading appetites.

I also love general contemporary fiction as well as memoirs.

My previous lives

In my previous life as a university lecturer, I corrupted young minds in the English and Media Studies Department.

In another life as a journalist, I was an editor and a feature writer, covering mainly lifestyle pieces, and I wrote occasional humorous newspaper columns. At least, I thought they were funny. And so did my brother's mother-in-law.

Last bit about me

In my current life, I have husband who's a geek in denial, two daughters who have inherited both their parents' love of reading, and two Guinea pigs that appeared in our home while I was away at a conference whose existence I don't acknowledge to my family. The Guinea pigs' existence. Not the conference's.
Update: One of the Guineas has gone to Guinea heaven. It wasn't me, I swear.
Update: Have two Guineas again. Not sure how the new one got here.
Update: Now have SEVEN Guinea pigs...
