Every heroine needs a great team beside them to complete their quest. This journey was no different. Heartfelt thanks to…
My amazing editor Emma, who with her magic eyes and quill helped me to see how much more wondrous this tale could be.
My fabulous readers: Anna and Sarah Jane for their honest and helpful feedback. You shaped this story with your insightful thoughts and suggestions, and to my niece Shannon who enjoyed it so much, she read it in one night.
My magical twin and fellow author Madonna for your never-ending support and fairy inspiration – watch out for those glitter sneezes!
The super-supportive writing community, who motivated me daily and encouraged me when the quest seemed hopeless.
My fairy godmother Caroline and her ‘magic one’ Hayley Ann for being the first to set eyes on this book and for introducing me to the enchanting world of Fairy Doors.
My mother Heather who instilled her love of books and reading into my heart from a young age, (and for believing me when I was convinced fairies lived at the bottom of our garden.)
Our crazy dog Patch, who was my own Fairy Companion and the inspiration for one of my favourite characters, (Can you guess which one? I’ll give you a clue – he eats too much and likes to steal things!)
My amazing children who inspire me every day: Adam; your wondrous art skills helped me to envision my characters, bringing them to life. Chloe, my brain-storming buddy and fellow fairy-lover; thank you for listening to the story and enjoying it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Nathan, my mini author-in-the-making; thank you for believing in me and being proud of my writing. Jake; thank you for your comic relief on the hard days and for your amazing squishy hugs.
And finally, my wonderful husband Dean; thank you for making my dreams come true. Love is truly the most powerful magic of all.
Coming November 2020...
