'I have not felt this seen by a book, ever,' writes Claire Mabey about ASH, the forthcoming novel by Louise Wallace. 'It makes sparks fly.' teherengawakapress.co.nz/ash/

I read the synopsis for this new John Lithgow movie and was like wow that sounds deranged, only to discover it’s based on an Owen Marshall short story!?!
So incredibly excited to say that ASH is going to be published in Australia later this year by @AllenAndUnwin and in the US in 2026 by @MarinerBooks . I'm grateful to @thebooksdesk , Alex Craig and Caroline Zancan, @thwupbooks and the readers! Onto this new adventure!!! 🌋🧡🎉
