From Interview with One More Page (UK): 

Your new novel, Saving Phoebe Murrow, is released on 20th October; please could you tell us a little about it and what inspired you to write it?

The story revolves around a cyber-bullying episode targeting13-year Phoebe Murrow. The novel was inspired by an article I read in 2008 about a 13-year-old girl, Megan Meier, who killed herself after being bullied on MySpace. In that instance, the “boy” who initiated the cyber-bullying was actually the mother of a former friend of Megan's, who wanted to know what Megan might be saying about her daughter. It was shocking to me that a mother was capable of such meanness, and I wanted to write a novel to understand how someone could do this. 

As a latecomer to social media, I was also intrigued by this method of communicating. How MySpace or Facebook or Twitter (and all the rest) could go from being a friendly venue to a vicious and destructive one, and how easily people can make nasty comments when not having to face the person they are aiming their darts at.
