The Snow Fairy written by Glenda Sisk



 My First Published Book!!!

This book was a labor of love for me. I wrote this book because my beautiful daughter Jessica "Rhiannon" wanted a story about Fairies, Princesses and Snow. She has always been the Princess" of my heart and I could never refuse her. So my little girl got her wish and the story is and will forever be hers.

Jessica "Rhiannon" "Princess of the Fairies' Sisk

I know most of my friends have already read or purchased this book when it  was first released and I thank you. You will never know how  ecstatic I was to see all my friends and family show up at Borders bookstore for my book signing that day! Celebrating my success with everyone was wonderful ! It meant more to me than you will ever know...I sold 85 copies that day alone! It was truly an amazing day!

I have written 13 children's books to date and so far only the Snow Fairy has been published. I'm still hopeful that the others will find a publisher. I'm working on a new book with a student at school. It's funny how that came about...

She needed a study buddy and I volunteered. She wanted to write a book like me and have it on the shelf in the Library. I thought great we can do that. All I have to do is make our book look like it was published. I thought a photo for the cover and photo's for the inside. Now I had to figure out what we were going to write about.

Her mother had just passed away and she was still mourning her loss. I told her when my dad died that I wrote letters to him when I felt lonely. She thought that was a great ideal and so began our journey of the heart.

I have been able to help her tell her story about her loss and wonder at what "Heaven" might be like for a child. We have explored all of the possibilities of what death might feel like to a 10 year old child.

I have tried my best to keep the purity and innocence of her thoughts while gently guiding her onward. This has been one of the most rewarding things I have even done in my life. I feel like I have learned a little more about "God" myself from this angel on earth. I would love for this to get published because I think every adult could benefit from it.  I also think every child who has ever lost a parent could understand that they are not alone ever.

Now if I could just make this little girl's story a reality (to be published) then she too would forever have her own story...

Here is her first letter...

Dear Mommy,                                                                       December 17, 2009

I wanted to write you a letter to tell you how I feel. Ms. Sisk is my study buddy and she is helping me write letters to you. She said it might make me less sad if I can still talk to you. She said when her Dad died that she wrote letters to him for a long time. Now I will get to talk to you anytime I want! There are so many things I want to ask you.

I’m sad today because you died and left me here. I’m afraid I will never see you again? Are you watching me from Heaven? Do they have the color pink there? I know that is your favorite color and I hope they have that color just for you! Are you an angel now? Do you have wings? And if you do can you fly? Is it fun being an angel?

I just want to thank you for letting me sleep cuddled up next to you at night, and for helping me with my homework. I miss everything we did together.


Christmas is almost here and I think about you every day. I hope they have Christmas in Heaven and I hope you have a happy one. I miss you mommy…


Love Forever
Your daughter
Akira

P.S Did you feel the ten kisses goodbye that I gave you?
