Wonderful to read and I

Posted on Fri, 21 May 2021

Wonderful to read and I enjoyed the other characters too. Penny the donkey must have her hands full with Dylan and Jessica. I just love how you bring these animals to life.

Cheery read as always.

Maria's father was certainly

Posted on Fri, 21 May 2021

Maria's father was certainly a busy man, it must have been hard for him to take the criticism on his writing and publishing after all the hard work he put in. I hope his book of poetry did better, his poem on the Slavic people was fascinating to...

Hi Rachel,

Hi Rachel,

Posted on Sat, 15 May 2021

Hi Penny, I have just spent a Sunday afternoon reading all the seven parts to this magical story. It made sense to read it this way, as then I could indulge myself. You have the balance of mystery, magic and reality down perfectly, leaving me...

Posted on Fri, 07 May 2021

It sounds like Packam was a special dog, it's always hard to loose a friend, but I'm sure by keeping on writing, his memory will live on in your stories. It's good to be able to keep writing and I think you've done a great job with this story. I...
