•             How did you select an illustrator?

o             I knew I wanted Nazar to be my illustration immediately. I looked through many many portfolios and kept coming back to his. Because he’s so extremely talented, I had to wait until his schedule opened up before he had time for my book. He was so worth the wait!

•             What’s your favorite scene in the book?

o             This is a hard question! I truly love all of the magical creatures in each scene but if I had to choose one, it’s actually pages 1-4. These pages set up the entire book and introduce the main characters—two girls who are so determined to find the thief. At this point the reader realizes the princesses are going on a journey for which they will need to be very brave. There’s a lot of personal touches Nazar included in the illustrations for these first two pages as well, like the pictures of my dogs.
