Excerpt 1 from my upcoming picture book,
The Lady in The Woods
It was in the early spring, on a day full of hope and promise. Feeling courageous and carefree, I had stepped off the well-worn path that wound its way through the woods, and found myself in a whole new world.
Oh, but it was grand to go where I had never ventured before! The earth was moist and pungent with new life just waiting to be born. A profound longing drove me onward, though I knew not where.
Eventually I came upon a bright clearing, deep in the heart of the woods. In the middle of the meadow was a charming stone cottage that seemed to glow with a light all its own. The bushes and flowers that surrounded the little house were in full bloom, weeks ahead of the nearby woods.
