TADA!!! The very first STUDENT review for Trouble With Parsnips
From an amazing student in Japan!
My very first review from a student!!! SO exciting!! I’m so touched and grateful that she took the time to read and think about and write about the book.
Thank YOU SO MUCH to all of the reviewers! After all my time in the “drafting cave” and the “revision cave,” it’s a treat to hear your reactions to the finished story.
If you’ve posted a review, please let me know. I’d love to see it!
Reviews give stories wings–they really do!
*They also keep books from going invisible.*
Thanks to the trouble you took to write and post your reviews, TROUBLE WITH PARSNIPS is on its way to find readers who are looking for just this kind of story.
The people of the Seven Kingdoms curtsy and bow to you!! Hip, Hip, Hooray! (Except Queen Ash, but then, she never thanks anybody.)
May you always have a good book, a snack, and time to enjoy them both!

TROUBLE WITH PARSNIPS got its first review on Kobo!
A deliciously long review for Trouble With Parsnips showed up!
It is always a good sign when I finish a book in one night. I did it with Harry Potters 4/5/6 & 7; Garth Nix’s Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen; Philip Pullman’s novels were regularly devoured into the small hours; Terry Pratchett had me laughing while my eyes were held open with matchsticks* and now I can add this hilarious and hugely entertaining novel, Trouble with Parsnips to the list.

Why Your Review is a Gift
If you’ve ever read a bedtime story and had a child give a sigh of appreciation, you know how wonderful the connection is between a book and a reader.
As an author, I put my heart and mind into my books to make them as fun and entertaining and satisfying as I can. When I happen across a review, I feel like my books have completed their journey to you!
On behalf of authors everywhere, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy life to express what a book meant to you!
You can’t know how much it encourages us when we are staring down a blank page or a plot tangle or a character is giving us the cold shoulder instead of snappy dialogue.
Many readers appreciate reviews when they are looking for their next read. That’s why I review my favorite books for ages 9 to 12 here.
