Shiver, the sequel to Chill, was published on 21 May 2009. 

I spoke at the Wigtown Book Festival in October.  It was a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

REVIEWS AND COMMENTS ON CHILL

'Alex Nye's involving Chill is set near Stirling, in a snowbound house with a ghost in the library.  It's a tense confection of mystery, historical intrigue and adventure for eight to 12-year-olds.  Young heroes Samuel and Fiona find they cannot ignore a call from the past to put things right.' Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald.

'A Dunblane author's debut work was one of the winners in a competition to find the best in Scottish children's writing - as voted for by readers. Set on Sheriffmuir, 'Chill,' by Alex Nye is the tale of a boy and girl working to unlock the events of a mysterious past that a ghostly figure won't let lie.  It won the younger readers (age 8-12) category in the Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children's Books and Alex said she was 'delighted' with the result.' Stirling Observer.

'I cannot thank you enough for writing back to my children...It now makes the book even more special to them.  I've got my orders to buy your new book the minute it's out.' A M, Westquarter Primary.

'I cannot wait until Shiver is published, can you?' R.D. Westquarter Primary

A warm thank you to all those pupils who have written to me, and also designed their own covers and illustrations for the book, and be assured that I keep every letter in a folder by my desk.
