If you've made it all the way to the end of this book, thank you!!

I'm amazed by how many new readers have found PUMPKIN PATCH PRINCESS over the past year, and I'm giving you all giant Muffet hugs for your kind votes and comments!

I thought I would add a few notes here:

I'm sorry! This could change one day. But I do have other books I am publishing and I need to focus on those, since I'm getting paid for them. (How else am I gonna pay for all the strawberry yogurt and pumpkin pie? Haha! Stop glaring at me, Alfonso.)

Anyone have connections to Hollywood? Hook me up! Seriously, though, I would love to hear who you guys would cast in all of the roles: Noelle, Kit, Maud, etc. Leave some comments and tell me!

I am obsessed with fairy tales, so everything I've written always has a little twist of Cinderella or Snow White or Hansel or Gretel. So if you like fairy tales, too, I might have something for you!

Everything listed below can be found in bookstores everywhere and online, and you can also request them at your libraries.

Well, that's everything I have so far, I think! It's time to hop back into my (slightly crooked and wonky) pumpkin carriage, crawl back into my goblin castle, and write a ton more stories.

I think you are all awesome and I appreciate you so much.

Happy reading! (And if you're a writer, too, happy writing!)
