So I invited friends and family and jokingly said, "Extra points for anyone who dresses up as a character from one of my books, ha ha." Well, wouldn't you know it, all my family and friends came dressed up as my characters!!! I was FLOORED. Here's me with my nephew and niece, Leo (the Gryphon!) and Teagan (the fairy Gladwin!) She even had a glitter-covered Happy Birthday Aunt Gael scroll for me strapped across her back like a real fairy courier. xo! Thanks to my baby sister, Janeen, their mom, who made the kids' adorable costumes.
