'Trapdoor is infused with sadness and I wouldn’t have it any other way, it is this sadness, and the emotional attachment it brought out of me, that has so much to tell us about being alive. To feel alive we have to trust ourselves and our perspectives, not the voices of others.'
Trapdoor lived with me long after I closed the cover for the last time; it doesn't so much as haunt me but acts as a constant reminder of the power of love. I asked Vix for her reaction:
'I'm delighted and humbled by Andy's selection of my novel Trapdoor as his book of the year pick. Given that the story was such an intense, personal journey, it means the world to know that it's not only reaching but resonating with its audience. Being gifted with this response both enheartens and encourages me to continue to craft such works, even as I've rewritten the first four pages of my next novel over a dozen times in frustration! I want to thank Andy, and all the readers who've shared Raven and Pegasus's story, for all their support'
