Dear Reader, Today, I continue to publish excerpts from A FAIRY'S DIARY The transition from play to responsibility is a delicate spell that requires the finest touch. Sunday evening brings the ritual preparation for the upcoming week—a sacred hour of sharpened pencils, ironed collars, and organized notebooks. My eldest sat at the desk, staring at a dull pencil point with an expression of absolute despair, as if the blunt lead were an insurmountable wall keeping him from his homework. Instead...

Dear Reader, Today, I continue to publish excerpts from A FAIRY'S DIARY There are thermometers made of glass and digital marvels that beep with cold precision, but no device on earth can match the calibration of a mother’s lips against a feverish forehead. At 2:00 AM, the shift changes instantly. The deep sleep of exhaustion dissolves the second I hear that restless, muffled cough from down the hall. I glide into the room, my wings unfurling in an invisible span of protective light. I press...

Dear Reader, Today, I continue to publish excerpts from A FAIRY'S DIARY They say that fairy godmothers have access to crystal balls that reveal the secrets of the universe, but my most frequently used oracle is the Lost Object Locator. Every evening, once the house settles into quietude, the parallel dimension where missing items reside opens its doors. Today's harvest included three mismatched LEGO bricks, a single left sneaker, a superhero cape that vanished into thin air during breakfast,...

Dear Reader, Today, I continue to publish excerpts from A FAIRY'S DIARY Saturday’s magic was tested by gravity and the treacherous gravel of the driveway. I was folding laundry—a meditative practice where I weave patience into every cotton shirt—when a sharp, unmistakable shriek pierced the air. I dropped the towels, my fairy senses instantly on high alert, and flew out the front door faster than any winged creature ever could. My eldest was sitting on the ground, clutching a scraped knee,...

Dear Reader, Today, I continue to publish excerpts from A FAIRY'S DIARY Friday afternoon brought an unexpected invasion of gray. Heavy rain clouds rolled over our neighborhood, washing away the highly anticipated trip to the park and replacing it with tears and pressed noses against the cold windowpanes. A gloomy child is a powerful force, capable of draining the magic from any room, so I knew I had to act quickly. If I could not change the weather outside, I would simply have to command the...

Dear Reader, Today, I continue to publish excerpts from A FAIRY'S DIARY The morning sun barely touches the horizon when my second shift begins—the great alchemy of the dawn. The kitchen is my laboratory, and today’s most complex spell involves the school lunchboxes. The little ones think I am simply cooking, but every ingredient requires a specific incantation. I chop carrots into perfect stars to infuse them with courage, and I shape small, golden cutlets—a secret recipe of grounding earth...

Dear Reader, As a children's author, I am well acquainted with a good dozen fairies and wizards. Some time ago, one of my fairy acquaintances—let's call her X—let me read her diary, and I couldn't tear myself away from it! I spent a long time begging her to let me share it with my readers, and she finally gave in. Today, I am beginning to publish excerpts from A FAIRY'S DIARY I started my night shift when silence finally fell over the house. My main magical mission begins exactly when...

Dear Reader, Welcome! I am so thrilled to have you here. My journey into writing began at my daughters’ bedside, spinning bedtime stories completely on the fly. Those nightly tales eventually grew into full-blown adventures—and now, I dedicate my days to writing chapter books that bring a touch of magic, warmth, and joy to young readers (and the young at heart!). As a special thank you for joining my reader family, here is your free digital copy of The Little Lady and the Even Smaller Gnome:...
