A U T H O R ' S      N O T E S :

There are MILLIONS of stories on Wattpad. Thank you for clicking on this one!

Here's a little background on me and the story: I first started writing PUMPKIN PATCH PRINCESS in 2010. I was still learning how to write a good book, and I didn't really know what I was doing. All I knew was I really wanted to get published, so I sat down and started writing.

In 2015, I put PPP here. Sharing it on Wattpad has been a lot like sharing a piece of myself. PPP is the story of a girl who wants to break free and follow her dreams, and in many ways, it's the story of ME. Because since then, I followed my dream.

I signed with my literary agent in 2015, and now I have nine books out or about to come out!

My dream came true in the biggest way, and it's partly because writing PPP and putting it on Wattpad gave me courage, strength, and luck. A lot like magic.

Hope you enjoy PUMPKIN PATCH PRINCESS!!!
