Teaser:
If anyone had told me a year
ago that I would find true love through a pea, I would have laughed. I mean,
when you live in a forest and never see anyone who isn’t related to you, or at
least overly obsessed with wood, it’s kind of hard to see how a vegetable could
lead you to love. But of course it wasn’t just the pea. You could also say the
light led me there and in this case that wouldn’t be metaphorical.

“Look, Max,” I replied, “I don’t know why I offend you so much or why you
can’t seem to stand the sight of me but I’ve never done anything to you. Don’t
you think you could at least try to give me a chance?” I was no longer nervous,
instead I felt invigorated by my anger and by the shocked surprise on his face.

I raised both eyebrows at him.

“I didn’t ask for this job but I’m
trying my best for your sisters. And I don’t think it’s the best thing for them
to have their Companion and their brother not even on speaking terms. So if I
promise that I’ll continue to do my best for them, and that I won’t take
advantage of your family in any way, do you think you can try to aim for some
basic courtesy towards me?” He continued to stand there in silence.

“I’ll tell you what,” he replied,
leaving my hand hanging. “If you agree to keep calling me Max from now on, I’ll
agree to truce. You can have all the courtesy you want.” His smile had gotten
bigger and he seemed to read agreement in the surprise on my face.

when he said my name it was soft, almost like a caress. Before I could think of
anything to say, he had turned and walked away, chuckling to himself.

I just stood there, in a daze. What had just happened? But I could make
no sense of his mood swings. As for his soft voice, saying my name, I decided
it would be best if I never thought about that again. Best for my mental health
that is.

She now feels incredibly fortunate to spend her time writing from her home in Canberra, Australia where they don’t have a beach but they do have kangaroos hopping down the streets. Her staple diet hasn’t changed much although she’s added choc mint rooibos tea and Chicken Crimpies to the list.
Her debut novel is The Princess Companion, a young adult retelling of the classic fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea.
