Have a great weekend and take care of yourselves during these strange times

Celebrating!

Hi there everybody, a friends beautiful post to me yesterday reminded me that it has been 4 year since my first book reading, which got me thinking as of January 2020 it’s been 6 years The Hidden Land of Fairies was first released, So I’ve put my fairy flowers back on today to send out a big thank you! I’m so grateful to Amazon, libraries, independent bookstores, schools and most most importantly you my readers for taking a chance and surrounding this book in as much love as you have it as meant the world to me.

I hope this book takes you to a place of joy, comfort and adventure in this time of reflection and isolation.

Ready for a really long post?

😊🌸🌸🌸
Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I've lasted posted. But I'm back! Life's been super busy, Filled with defining moments ups and downs and moments of pure joy, I have been spending quality time my family and friends just soaking it all in. As you've probably seen I've slowly started posting again and will definitely posting more regularly again. If you've been by Rainbow Leaf Book's Instagram stories then you've most likely seen my bookshelf. 💕 📚 This will be a new part of the space we have created here at Rainbow Leaf.
Rainbow Leaf has always been a place where I have and will continue to share updates on my book, some of favorite quotes, fun moments and travels and now the bookshelf will show you what what I've read and you'll still be able to see what I'm currently reading on goodreads which is linked to all of Rainbow Leaf's social media platforms. I hope you have a great day!
Let me know what you think of the bookshelf and what books you hope to see on it

Four Years

This is a really long post but here we go 🍃🌸 4 years since the release of #thehiddenlandoffairies and what a blessing it has been, I remember sitting in my backyard with my notebook of short stories and saying how I would love to write a longer story. Creating a new place for people to explore and once you'd been there my hope is and was that it would be place you would want to revisit. Two of my short stories combined, a whole lot of love,editing illustration creation by beautifully supportive people. This world was made possible.
I think most exciting yet also the scariest part about releasing this book is knowing the the world you've spent so much of your time in is no long just yours it will take on its own life.
It is incredible to see the love that surrounds this book from the little community my wonderful readers have created across all social media platforms, to people personally telling me, how much they and/or their little ones love this book. I look forward to the next adventure. It's going to be a bit darker so get ready 💜🖤#thehiddenlandoffairies #grateful #blessed #love #4years #books #blog #community #rainbowleafwrapup #photopixels #instagram #butterflies #fairies

I really did love my old one but sadly the template was to out dated to run so a new site is here! it took a bit tweaking to have it represent some of the old elements while still having its fresh take on things. You can keep up to date with all the fun changes by heading to the Rainbow Leaf Books Facebook and Instragram pages or clicking the website link above. I hope you love it as much as I do.

If you've seen any of the changes comment and let me know what you think. I'm hoping for kind words hehe.
