To the Publishers,
This is not just a single story. It is a repository of 99 tales, woven together to form a complete 12-book series. A box set designed to last a whole year of bedtimes.

Do you have a story to share? Or maybe you just need a pick-me-up or a chat? The world can be heavy, but my inbox is light. Write your thoughts below, and send them to the sea.
