When my grandkids were around my knees they loved stories where they could give me the first line. Telling them a story that way often left me thinking, "That wasn't bad." So I'd continue with the same story the next night. Then one night, I taped an episode and I was sold. From that, I started to write <em>Grammie Books </em>and the kids got one each year in their Christmas stocking from that time on. So keep on keeping on,  Who knows how this little princess might attract the spotlight in your life - in real life and the world of fantasy.

I throughly enjoyed them and have passed them on to others who have enjoyed them as well. One was my sister who lives in Vermont. She enjoyed reading a Canadian novel for a change. Another was my 18 year old daughter who also enjoyed them and asked if there were more. We were in Ottawa dropping my daughter off at school and went to the Murder Mystery book store on Bank Street. My daughter and I both found a Mazuik and Ryan book for sale on the shelf and were excited. We have as family enjoyed the Benny Cooperman books from Howard Engal for there fun stories, a good mystery and there Canadianness (is that a word?) Now we have added you to our list and look forward to more. I hope you do not get “blogged down” (Excuse the pun)

Write more in this genre. Absolutely riveting. I wish I was a princess reading your story all curled up in the crook of a big old oak tree.
