When I first discovered Mirriam's blog, she had just begun work on Paper Crowns. I was always eager to read the snippets that came out! After commenting about how much I loved the story, Mirriam offered to let me beta the book. Paper Crowns was the first book I ever beta-read! When the story ended, I felt full. It was almost as if I had been hungry for a unique story, and Mirriam's beautiful book hit the spot! Ever since I finished reading that rough draft, I have been anxiously awaiting the publication in book form. I remember telling Mirriam that I wanted it in print so badly so that I could carry it around and hold it in my hands. My wish finally came true!
About the Book
Ginger has lived in seclusion, with only her aunt Malgarel and her blue cat, Halcyon, to keep her company. Her sheltered, idyllic life is turned upside-down when her home is attacked by messengers from the world of fae. Accompanied by Halcyon (who may or may not be more than just a cat), an irascible wysling named Azrael, and a loyal fire elemental named Salazar, Ginger ventures into the world of fae to bring a ruthless Queen to justice.
