The date is August 7, 2009.

It was bedtime for our little girl, who was almost two years old at this time, when I conjured up the world of Heartland and the character of Molly for the very first time. Yes, the part in the book about how George came up with a nickname for Molly is actually how we came up with one for Cassidy. She would often fall asleep while I fed her baby formula. She would literally 'zonk'. Thus we started calling her Zonks. 

 

After 12 years, I don't really think I could call her any other name. 

It is a nickname that suits the character of Molly very well. You'll have to read the series to find out why. And after 12 years, the fantasy story of Zonks is finally being published.

​

I know, I know... 12 years is a long time. Looking back, however, had I published the story sooner, it would not have been nearly the story it is today. You know what they say about wine? It gets better with age. This story, too, got better and better over the years and I'm so excited for you to finally experience it. Click on the button below to learn more about me.
