Dear Debbie
Your amazing work recently entered my orbit and so I thought I would take the time to commend you for your distinctly fabulous books and illustrations. What you have created gives me flashbacks to the highs of my childhood - sticky candyfloss joy at the annual carnival, road trips to the coast with ABBA on repeat, the thrill of new school shoes...
Congratulations on your NY Times review! It must be a wonderful feeling...
I am an author of YA Fantasy-Realism and as a writer I know what goes into finishing those books. So for you to write AND illustrate - well, it's definitely like JLo having twins to outshine the other pregnant Hollywood divas :)
I am busy debuting my first interactive fantasy novel called Isobel Stellar & the Ubuntu Song - it's basically American Idol meets The Hunger Games meets The Secret, and also incorporates South African mythology and folklore. I would be so honoured if you could have a look at my website - I somehow feel we share the lightness of energy used to create our stories. My website is http://www.isobelstellar.com and there is a preview on the homepage.
Wish you every success and happiness. I am NEVER bored when I come across your name or books or illustrations on the info superhighways!
With love from South Africa,
Iwan
Iwan - thank you so much! :-) Good luck with your fantasy novel.
