Helen Pugsley asked Melanie Dickerson:

Whoops all your Hagenhiems wound up in my to-read list. I'm so excited to have discovered these! I saw The Golden Braid one when my friend entered your contest thingy! (Rapunzel was my favorite growing up!) What made you decide the world needed these books?

Melanie Dickerson Hi, Helen! I just really enjoy fairy tales and rewriting them with my own twists and tweaks. I'm not sure I wrote them with the needs of the world uppermost in my mind. Haha! But I do try to write encouraging, uplifting, romantic stories for teen girls (and older!) to enjoy while giving them some truths to chew on. For instance, in my first book, The Healer's Apprentice, I hoped to show what to look for in a guy, and what to avoid, in order to find true love.
