Hi Millie, thanks for getting in touch. Yes, I do school visits and my fees for this autumn and spring 2025 are £425 for a whole day visit. You're 3 hours away from me though, so I wouldn't be able to go there and back plus do the visit all in one day. I'd need to add the expense of a one night in a premier inn or similar on top which adds to the fee. Do get back in touch if you're still interested. I'm also on Authors Aloud which organises visits with many different author and speakers. Thanks and best wishes, Paula

Hi Ellie! I'm so glad you like the Red Moon Rising books. I had a lot of fun writing them. I've never thought about the story as a film before. It's definitely something to think about - maybe it would be best as an animation. Best wishes, Paula

Ellie (Thursday, 24 October 2024 19:17)

Hi! I am 12 and I absolutely love your red moon rising series, they are my new favourite books, I have read all 3 of them. I think it would make a really good film, is this something you have thought about? You should definitely do it!

Paula Harrison (Monday, 19 August 2024 13:29)

Hi Henry, what a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing! Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 19 August 2024 13:28)

Hi Sammy and William, thanks for pointing this out. Mistakes sometimes get introduced during typesetting and that's probably what happened. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 19 August 2024 13:26)

Hi Gem, this sounds like a lovely idea. I'll be in touch! Paula

Henry (Sunday, 18 August 2024 17:13)

Hi Paula. I love your books. Can you make a Kitty book about about a football team called Pumpkin United whose stadium name is Pumpkin Arena, that has a stadium capacity of 200,000. You could call it ‘Kitty and the Pumpkin United Road to Glory’.
From your biggest fan, Henry

Sammy and William (Monday, 05 August 2024 11:41)

Hi Paula Harrison, We absolutely love your Kitty books and are so excited to share each new one. We are currently reading Kitty and the Treetop Chase. We noticed at the start of chapter 4 it says 'broen' - should this say brown? We weren't sure if it was a new word or not so wanted to check. Many thanks for your help and for writing such brilliant books!

Waterstones Witney (Thursday, 01 August 2024 18:15)

Hi, Paula,

I hope this finds you safe and well and either enjoying the glorious sunshine, or the glorious thunderstorm, like we are in Witney!
We put it to out local kiddos and asked what authors they would love to see and your name was one of the tops, so we were wondering if you would ever be up for doing an activity day or event with us at all?
We are based in Oxfordshire, about 15 miles from Oxford itself.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Kind regards,

Hi Marissa, I'm not in control of which of my books appear on kindle, unfortunately. If you want to write to Nosy Crow (the publisher) about it you can find their address on the How to Write to Me page on this website. Best wishes, Paula

Hi Trisha, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the book. I don't really do autographs unless you meet me at an event. Best wishes, Paula

Trisha (Tuesday, 21 May 2024 08:42)

Hey! I am a 10 years girl from India. Mam, I just loved your book named as 'The Secret of the Silk Dress' of series 'Tiara Friends'. Your book and your imagination won my heart. May I get your autograph please so that I can stick on my book, you can send your social media id through this (if you wish). Best wishes for your ahead life journey. God bless you!

Paula Harrison (Monday, 29 April 2024 11:28)

Hi Emmy, I'm so pleased you like The Secret Rescuers. I don't generally do autographs unless I meet people in person! Happy reading! Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 29 April 2024 11:26)

Hi Anna, sorry I completely missed your message before Easter. Thanks for messaging me and I'm glad you loved the Secret Rescuers. Authors don't generally choose how long their series are. The publisher chooses that because they're the ones who pay to have the series produced and printed. I would have liked to have written a couple more at least! But it wasn't to be. Best wishes, Paula

Emmy (Thursday, 25 April 2024 22:22)

Hi, my name is Emmy, I love your books especially the secret rescuers, the storm dragon ..Also do you give autographs? love emmy.

Anna (Friday, 22 March 2024 15:58)

Hello Paula my name is Anna I first read your secret rescuers series when I was around nine years old, now I’m 15 and I still adore them, but I do wonder why you never continued the series it is absolutely my favourite from you and I’d love to see, it continued its just such an incredible and engaging story

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 12 March 2024 11:12)

Hi Lucy, thanks for getting in touch. I'd love to see the costume! I'm on X as @P_Harrison99 and on instagram as @paulaharrisonauthor . I don't understand how her book could have got missed out when we had a list of children for book signing! If you contact me again and leave your address perhaps I could put a signed bookplate in the post for you and you can then stick it into her book? I'm pleased she's enjoying the story. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 12 March 2024 11:08)

Hi Eleanor, thank you for writing to me. I'm glad you're enjoying my book! Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 12 March 2024 11:07)

Hi Ruth, could you contact me again and leave your email address so I can reply to you privately? Best wishes, Paula

Lucy Blunden (Thursday, 07 March 2024 12:36)

Hello, I'm mum to Rowan and wanted to send you a picture of Rowan dressed up as Kitty for World Book Day looking so proud and happy!
I made her costume at the weekend and she immediately wore it for the rest of the day... we were going to the cinema!
She's loving the book and enjoyed your visit to her school in Chipperfield very much. Unfortunately, her book wasn't a signed one although they were all supposed to be.
Perhaps I could tag you on social media so you get to see it??
Thank you
Lucy

Eleanor Triana (Wednesday, 14 February 2024 22:31)

We are writing to ask you to make more copys of you'r books.I am 9 years old.

Ruth Cowan (Thursday, 01 February 2024 16:50)

Dear Paula,
I am writing from Ely library in Cambridgeshire.
We would love to invite you to visit Ely library to do a talk for children about your writing.
Are you available to visit in the summer at all?
Please can you give me an idea of your charges?
Hoping you can fit us in!
Thanks and best wishes,
Ruth Cowan

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 18 January 2024 09:59)

Hi Amanda, Happy New Year! I'm so pleased the children are enjoying the Kitty books so much! I'm afraid I don't have a set of books to send right now, as we recently had a charity drive over here and they all went to that. I'd be happy to record the children a short video message which I could send to you on WeTransfer. Just give me a shout if you'd like that. best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 18 January 2024 09:55)

Hi Linsey, thanks so much for your message. I did use your email to get in touch so I hope that reached you. Best wishes, Paula

Amanda Anderson (Friday, 05 January 2024 20:12)

Hi Paula!

I am writing to you from Vermont, USA!

I am a licensed teacher who works in a nonprofit preschool here in the green mountain state (though I did both of my degrees at Liverpool John Moores University and became a QTS teacher in the UK! Married and brought home a scouser! Haha).

As a Mom, I found your Kitty books a couple of years ago and began reading them to our daughters. Olivia, now 9, has always asked for new Kitty books each birthday and Christmas. We have quite the collection of books at our house now, so this year I began bringing them in to my 4/5 year old preschoolers!

As a class we have read 6 of your books since September! It is astounding how much these children, much like my own, have connected with your books and your characters. They adore them and are always excited to start the next! In fact, today they decided to start writing their own class Kitty adventure story, which they will illustrate and act out for their parents. So fun!

We are writing to see if you would be so gracious as to send Evergreen Preschool a set of your Kitty books for our school library? We would love to have you visit our kiddos here at school, but recognize a trip all the way to Vergennes, Vermont is probably a little too far. Haha! Would you ever consider a Zoom or Google Meets call?

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. You've brought such joy and love of reading to not only my own children, but also our group of preschoolers. The world is a better place because of your writing!

All the best,
Amanda Anderson

Linsey Merali (Sunday, 10 December 2023 20:37)

Hello, my name is Linsey and my daughter Amira is enthralled with your Kitty Adventures series. She has made a little ‘book in a jar’ Kitty inspired decoration for her room and she has written her own Kitty Adventure which includes our puppy Zippy. She wanted Kitty and Pumpkin to have a doggy friend. It’s called ‘Kitty and the Lost Tickets on a Windy Day’. I was just wondering if you would be able to read it and send her a little message. She’s 6 and since reading your books she has become an even more enthusiastic reader. She also loves the Rescue Princess series too. We went on a special trip to London to visit Hatchards as it’s such a beautiful book shop and they stock the series. I’m a secondary school English teacher and to be honest I love reading them with her too!! Kind regards Linsey
My email address is linseyanne@hotmail.co.uk if you are able to get in touch that would be wonderful

Paula Harrison (Friday, 08 December 2023 10:37)

Hi Katie, Yes this Kitty book hasn't been published in the States, so if you want to read it you'd need to buy a UK version online. I would look in online bookstores. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Friday, 08 December 2023 10:36)

Hi Amelia Anne, I'm glad you're enjoying the Secret Rescuers! You're right - those characters are the same and should have the same name. The mix up happened between my UK and US publishers and sending the story across the ocean. Best wishes, Paula

Katie (Thursday, 07 December 2023 01:32)

Hi! I have been searching for Kitty and the Snowball Bandit; however, I cannot find where to purchase this anywhere in the U.S. Where can I purchase this book? Thank You!!

Amelia Anne Garnick (Tuesday, 05 December 2023 13:37)

Dear Paula -- My name is Amelia Anne. I am eight years old and live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, NY. I really enjoy reading The Secret Rescuers with my dad before bedtime.

I am on the last book of the series, The Sea Pony, and I noticed something between The Sky Unicorn and The Sea Pony. In Sky Unicorn, the main girl character is named Ava and the baby unicorn is named Clover. But, in Sea Pony, the girl's name is Maya and the baby unicorn's name is Marella.

I was wondering if that was supposed to happen or if these are different characters. I am confused. And your books are awesome.

I look forward to your response.

Amelia Anne

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 23 November 2023 11:17)

Hi Beth, thanks for getting in touch. Yes, I do still have a couple of days free that week. Would you like to leave your email address on this page so I can get in touch with you?
Best wishes,

Bethany Hicks (Wednesday, 22 November 2023 15:32)

Hello

I was just wondering if you had any availability on World Book week 4th-8th March to come and speak to a school based in South West London. This would be aimed at Year 2 and 3 and we would be happy to also offer book sales.
Thanks
Beth

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 07 November 2023 13:04)

Hi Daisy Rose, that sounds like a wonderful idea! Yes I agree - everyone needs teamwork and all the princesses they can get. :) best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 07 November 2023 13:03)

Hi Jess, I get asked about this a lot and it came about due to a mix up between my UK and US publishers. Best wishes, Paula

Daisy Rose (Monday, 06 November 2023 22:34)

Hello, Paula Harrison,

What do you think of this idea? All fifteen Rescue Princesses joining together to rescue a magical animal like a unicorn. Everybody needs teamwork and all the princesses they could get.

Best Wishes,
Daisy Rose

Jess Aker (Saturday, 14 October 2023 16:52)

Hi! My daughter and I absolutely love your books! We’ve read all of the Kitty books and are now reading the Secret Rescuers series together. We’re currently reading The Sea Pony, and we’re very confused by the use of the name Maya. At the beginning of the book, Sophy shows up with her friend, Maya, who is riding a Sky Unicorn. Maya tells about Marella and some of her adventures rescuing the baby Sky Unicorn in the earlier book, but the name of the girl who did those things in The Sky Unicorn is Ava. Unless we’re mistaken, name Maya was not used in that book or any of the others. My daughter asked me to email you and see if the use of the name Maya was a mistake or if we are missing something and if you could help us understand.
Thank you!!

Paula Harrison (Monday, 09 October 2023 12:01)

Hi Lara, thanks for the message. Yes I sometimes do events and book signings if you live in the UK. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 09 October 2023 11:58)

Hi Leyton, thanks for your message. I'm pleased you like my books, especially The Sky Unicorn. I hope you have lots of fun reading! Best wishes, Paula

Lara Radia (Friday, 06 October 2023 19:40)

Hi Paula
My daughter Lara, loves your books- she’s 6, wondering if you do meet and greet at schools to local cafes?

Leyton (Thursday, 28 September 2023 02:34)

Hi Paula. I am Leyton. I am 7 years old. I love all of your books. You are so good at writing books. And I think you’re the best author and I lol your chapter books. I wish you could make a lot more. My favorite is the Sky Unicorn.

Paula Harrison (Monday, 18 September 2023 10:18)

Hi Csilla, thanks for your message. Could you comment again and include your email address so that I can get in touch and find out where your school is, etc.? Many thanks, Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 18 September 2023 10:17)

Hello HG, thanks so much for your message and I'm glad you're all enjoying the books! Paula x

Csilla Vagany (Sunday, 17 September 2023 21:41)

Good evening! I would like to enquire about a cost of a school visit, around World Book Day. We love creating magical experiences for our 7 classes. We don’t ask them to dress up, we aim to immerse them and give them reason to love books and reading. Thank you!

HG (Sunday, 10 September 2023 11:09)

Hi,

I wanted to thank you for your Rescue Princesses series. My seven year old daughter loves them. She was gifted ten of them at the start of the summer and she has read all of them, she loves them.

We went on a long car journey over the summer and we listened to the Robyn Silver books as well. We both loved them.

Thanks. My daughter told me to tell you to keep writing.

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 06 September 2023 15:59)

Dear Bierton School, a letter is on it's way to you! Looking forward to meeting you all, Paula

Hi Jeremy, it's great to hear that! Paula

Bierton CE Combined School (Thursday, 24 August 2023 20:11)

Good Afternoon,
We are really excited to have you visit our school in a few weeks time as part of your work with Tring Bookshop. In preparation for your visit we have a group of children taking part in a book club to read one of your previous Kitty stories. We wondered if you would be willing to write a letter to the children in the book club to explain how you came up with the kitty stories and how you are looking forward to visiting the school.

Hi I like your kitty books

Paula Harrison (Friday, 11 August 2023 10:40)

Hi Lena! Thanks for writing to me. I'm glad you love the Kitty books. I love writing all of Kitty's superhero adventures. There are lots of Rescue Princesses books so if you start that series you won't run out of books any time soon! Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Friday, 11 August 2023 10:38)

Hi Erin, I'm so pleased that you and your daughter have enjoyed The Secret Rescuers. No, there was never a cloud bears book so you haven't missed one out. Happy reading! Paula x

Paula Harrison (Friday, 11 August 2023 10:36)

Hi Laura, I thought I had replied to you but I can't find it anywhere. So sorry if you've waited all this time for a reply! I'm so pleased your family have enjoyed the Secret Rescuers. The series ended after 6 books - these things are always the publisher's decision. I hope you find many more things you love to read together. Best wishes, Paula

Lena (Wednesday, 09 August 2023 17:00)

Dear Ms. Paula. I really like the Kitty books. In fact, I love to read now and I think you should write more Kitty books because they are so AWESOME! I'm afraid that I'll finish the series soon and won't have any more kitty stories to look forward to. I also read one of the Princess Rescue books (the one with the panda), and I just might read all of your books!

Thank you! Lena (almost 7 years old, she wrote the letter and mom typed it for her)

Erin Jury (Tuesday, 18 July 2023 09:33)

Hello Paula.
My 4 year old Daughter and I loved reading the Secret Rescuers books in the book Cloud Bears were mentioned a few times but we haven’t been able to find any books on them. We live in New Zealand so don’t always get books straight away. But we just wanted to know if you will be writing one about the Cloud Bears. We have even got Dad and big brother reading the series too. Thank you for feeding my children’s love of reading. I wish these were atound when I was little but to be honest I am probably enjoying them more as an adult reading them to my children and seeing their imaginations work and hearing them get excited about reading.

Laura Shepard (Wednesday, 24 May 2023 19:12)

Hello Paula - I am a mom to a 9 year old boy and 7 year old daughter. I started reading your Secret Rescuers series to them, and we have loved every moment. We just finished Sea Pony. My daughter wants me to read them all over again. Do you plan anymore of these books? We really want a concluding book where Sir Fitzroy and the Queen finally learn their lesson and why the King had the stones. Thank you for writing these books and giving my family wonderful memories.

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 09 May 2023 12:06)

Hi Nicola, I sometimes do assemblies but it depends how close your school is to me. Would you like to drop your email into the comments section here and I will get in touch? Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 09 May 2023 12:05)

Hi Lynda, thanks for your message. I sometimes do signings at Waterstones in Milton Keynes, but I don't have any coming up in the next couple of months. If you drop your email into the comment section here I could send you a quick email if I arrange a signing for later in the year. It would likely be around October/ November time when 'Kitty and the Snowball Bandit' comes out. Best wishes, Paula

Nicola Ballmann (Sunday, 07 May 2023 20:31)

Hi
I am in charge of organising whole school assemblies at my school and wondered if you would be available for this.

LYNDA GREEN (Thursday, 27 April 2023 12:33)

Hi, My Granddaughter is a avid fan of Kitty and actually went to school on book day as Kitty can you let me know if you have any book signing days coming up - Or point me in a direction where I may find out, my granddaughter is 5 years old and lives in Shrewsbury but I live in Leighton Buzzard - thank you for your assistance.

Paula Harrison (Friday, 21 April 2023 15:05)

Hello Sam, yes this could be a possibility, depending on when you'd like the visit. Could you add your email address to the contact form so I can contact you directly? best wishes, Paula

Sam Harrison (Friday, 21 April 2023 11:14)

Good Morning

We are looking to arrange an author visit for our schools (2 schools in the federation, 3 miles apart)
-Normanby-By-Spital Primary
-Faldingworth Primary
Lincolnshire

Is this somewhere you could visit?
maybe 2 half days at the schools? rec/ks1? 2 classes in each school?

Kind Regards
Sam Harriosn

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 13 April 2023 11:11)

Hi Kate, I'm so pleased your daughter loves the Kitty books! Snowball Bandit isn't finished yet! I know the book cover is online but it hasn't actually gone to print. It publishes in the UK in September and at that point you should be able to purchase online. Best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 13 April 2023 11:08)

Hi Amy, sorry it's taken me so long to reply! I'm so pleased you love the Rescue Princesses books. I love penguins too! I'm not writing any more Rescue Princesses books at the moment because I'm so busy with Kitty stories and Fairytale Ninjas, but you could always have a go at writing the penguin story yourself? Maybe get a grown up to help you! Good luck! Paula xx

Kate (Thursday, 13 April 2023 01:47)

Hi Paula! My daughter loves, loves, loves the Kitty Series! Can you tell me where we can purchase Book 13, "Kitty and the Snowball Bandit," in the United States? We have all 12 books, but I can't find #13! Any help is appreciated! Thank You :)

Amy (Friday, 31 March 2023 17:18)

I am 6 years old, and I love your Rescue Princess books. My very favorite animals are penguins. Would you please write a Rescue Princess book about penguins?

Paula Harrison (Friday, 31 March 2023 10:59)

Hi Sandra and Ida, sorry for the slow reply. I'm so pleased you love the Kitty books. I was born in Bletchley and there is lots more information about me on the "About Me" tab of this website! Hope the presentation goes well. Paula x

Sandra Knobloch (Thursday, 16 March 2023 18:16)

Hi,my Name is Sandra im from Germany. My daughter Ida,9years old,loves your Kitty books and in school she hast to present a book,she loves,and she decided to present the First Part of your Kitty books.

The Last Question ist answered by the Internet� and of course,she wants to Tell you,that these Kitty books are soooooo cool�
WE would be so Happy,If you could answer our Questions.
Thanks,
Sandra and Ida�

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 16 March 2023 10:22)

Hi Natalie, I'm so pleased your 6 yr old love The Rescue Princesses! Are you in the States? The final 3 books were never published directly into the USA which is why you may be having problems. They went out in the UK, Ireland and Australia, so you should be able to order them online if you want to. But just to be aware they'll have English spellings and words occasionally, e.g. torch rather than flashlight. Paula x

Natalie (Wednesday, 15 March 2023 03:59)

Hi Paula,
My 6 yr old and I have LOVED reading the Rescue Princesses series. We are having a really hard time finding the last 3 books- it seems books #13,14,15 are not readily available from book stores and libraries like the first 12 books. Any insight? Thank you so much �

Paula Harrison (Monday, 06 March 2023 10:54)

Hi Kat, that's lovely to hear! I hope she had a fantastic day. Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 06 March 2023 10:53)

Hello Carla, thanks for getting in touch with me. Could you message again with an email address so that I can reply to you directly? many thanks, Paula

Kat P (Friday, 03 March 2023 14:50)

Dear Paula,

Thanks so much for writing the Kitty books! Just thought you'd like to know that my seven year-old loved "Kitty and the Moonlight Rescue", and she dressed up as Kitty for World Book Day. Thankfully an easy costume to put together from Ebay purchases and a bit of DIY :-).

We hadn't heard of you until my literary friend gave my girl a Kitty book for her birthday, but we will be looking out for more!

No need to reply.

All the best,

Kat P

Carla Brock (Friday, 03 March 2023 13:24)

Good afternoon,

I am the librarian at a secondary school in Weston Super Mare, North Somerset, and I am hoping to book an in person author visit in July for the Year 7 and 8 students. Is this something you would have availability for and if so can you provide me with details and prices please?

Kind regards,

Carla

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 16 February 2023 09:53)

Hi Catherine, thanks for getting in touch. Yes, I am doing a few one hour free school visits to promote the launch of Fairytale Ninjas, but I'm staying within a couple of hours travel distance of home for these and there has to be a book shop involved to give parents the option of buying the book. That's how free author visits work really - the sale of books option is involved. So it really depends where you are and whether there's a local book shop that would provide books for those that order them. Would you like to drop me your email and we can talk further? Best wishes, Paula

Catherine Churaman (Wednesday, 15 February 2023 19:15)

Hi Paula - I hope you’re well. I stumbled across a promotion today for your new series coming out in March - it looks fab!! My niece is a fan of your Kitty books and I can’t wait for her to try Fairytale Ninjas. I spotted you mentioned above you occasionally do free school events around the time you publish a new book and I wondered if you’re planning to do any for this one? My 4yo son started school this year and I was delighted to see they’ve recently launched a ‘Love of Reading’ initiative and committee at the school to encourage reading for pleasure. I’m sure the children would love to hear from you but sadly I know budgets are tight. So I thought after spotting your comment I’d be silly not to ask! Wishing you all the best with your new book, I can’t wait to read a copy myself as I’m a big children’s book fan too!

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 07 February 2023 11:17)

Hello Eve, I'm pleased you liked Kitty and the Moonlight Rescue. Yes there are lots more Kitty books. There are 12 books published in the UK and lots in different parts of the world too! Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 07 February 2023 11:14)

Dear Secret Rescuers Fan, I think you've thought of some very interesting questions there. Unfortunately I can't answer them all because it's so long since I wrote the book. The Magic Fox was written back in 2015! No, the Kitty series isn't ending and I am writing some more of those books now. Best wishes, Paula

Eve Mouser (aged 5 1/2) (Tuesday, 31 January 2023 20:43)

Dear Paula,

I loved seeing Kitty rescue all the cats and get their cat crew in Kitty and the Moonlight Rescue.

Please can you write more books of Kitty?

Love,

Eve

Secret Rescuer Lover (Monday, 30 January 2023 21:50)

Hello Paula,

Thank you very much for responding to my questions.

You said Natasha did get her Speaking Stone. What colour were the crystals? Did she and Poppy meet Sophy and the others?

What are the Blue Dreamers candles made from?

Why does Natasha work in the shoe store if she does not like it? Can she get a job selling Poppy's candles?

Are the Kitty series ending because you are starting the Fairytale Ninjas series?

Love,
Secret Rescuer Lover

Paula Harrison (Monday, 30 January 2023 09:39)

Hello Secret Rescuers fan! Thanks for your message. Yes I think Mr Lott does suspect that Poppy and Natasha are connected to the magical creatures. And yes Natasha got her own Speaking Stone one day. Spaghetti the cat is a bit of a stray. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 30 January 2023 09:36)

Hello Alexandra, thanks so much for your message. I'm really pleased you like the Secret Rescuers and I love your idea for a new story! It sounds so mysterious! I don't have time to write it at the moment, but maybe you could have a go yourself? Maybe get a grown up to help you. Good luck! Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 30 January 2023 09:34)

Hello C Leona Mary, thanks for your message. I really wanted to write some detective stories about two best friends and that's where Tiara Friends came from. Best wishes, Paula

Secret Rescuer Lover (Sunday, 29 January 2023 02:11)

Hello, Paula Harrison,

I love the Secret Rescuer. Yesterday I just finished the Magic Fox. I have also read The Sky Unicorn and The Storm Dragon. I am reading The Star Wolf right now. I'm planning to read The Baby Firebird and The Sea Pony later.

Does Mr. Lott suspect that Poppy and Natasha have something to do with rescuing some magical creatures? Since he was asking them if they knew about the dragon that Mr. Denton saw, which we know it is really Natasha's kite.

Did Natasha later get her own Speaking Stone?

Who does Spaghetti the cat belong to?

Love,
Secret Rescuer Lover

Alexandra Lee (age 6) (Saturday, 28 January 2023 21:03)

Dear Paula,
I really like your secret rescuer books and have nearly finished reading the last one. I have an idea for a new one, called The Night Narwal. Can you write it for me?
Thank you.

C Leona Mary (Wednesday, 18 January 2023 15:34)

I am studying in Fifth Grade..Kindly share me about your inspiration to write Tiara Friends...

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 03 January 2023 09:56)

Hi Haley, thanks for your message. I don't think books 7 - 11 were released in hardback in the States. As far as I know, there are no plans to do so at the moment. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 03 January 2023 09:54)

Hi Rosa, I'm so glad you're enjoying my books! I've had a lot of fun writing them. Best wishes, Paula

Haley Suby (Wednesday, 30 November 2022 21:50)

I have books 1-6 of the Kitty series and absolutely love them. I am interested in purchasing books 7-11 but so far I have only found them in paperback (I live in the United States). I have books 1-6 in hardback and was hoping to purchase books 7-11 as hardback volumes as well. Do you know if books 7-11 were released as hardback books for the Kitty series in the United States? Thank you!

Rosa Mills (Wednesday, 30 November 2022 20:59)

I love your books, especially like secret rescuers and kitty books. I like them because I like adventures

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 25 October 2022 10:05)

Hello Eloise and Amelia, thanks for your lovely message. I'm very happy that you like my books and I hope you have fun with the stories you're writing. To answer your question - the Rescue Princesses series has 15 books and there are no plans to add any more. You can find the names of all 15 books in order on the Rescue Princesses page on this website in case you wanted to know! I wonder if you each have a favourite story out of the series? Best wishes, Paula xx

Eloise and Amelia Munn aged 7 (Friday, 21 October 2022 21:56)

Hello Mrs Harrison,
Thank you for writing such amazing books, we love all your books, especially 'The Rescue Princesses' And reading them makes us want to be ninja princesses when we grow up. We are wondering if you have any plans to add to The Rescue Princess series? If so, please could you consider having twin princesses called Eloise and Amelia?
Mummy has down loaded the kitty writing guide, and we are going to write our own stories over half term, we hope that they will be as great as your stories!
We are looking forward to your fairytale ninja book too �
Thank you for your time,
Love from
Eloise and Amelia x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 10 October 2022 09:51)

Hi Bentley, thanks so much for your message. I'm glad you like the Secret Rescuers books! I don't have another book with magical sea creatures in, but you might like the Kitty series which is also very adventurous! Best wishes, Paula

Bentley Hendzlik (age 4, almost 5) (Tuesday, 04 October 2022 01:08)

Hello, (My mama said she would write my letter to you.)
I love the Secret Rescuers books. The dragons are my favorite. I love the dragon and fox book. Mama finished reading all of them and I want to know if there will be more or if you have another book with magical sea creatures like the sea ponies.
Thank you.

Paula Harrison (Friday, 30 September 2022 11:04)

Hello, thanks for your message. I'm sorry that this has happened. It was a mistake created between my UK and US publishers and not by me, but I continue to get lots of messages about it. Ava's name was changed to Maya in the UK. But when the 6th book was sent to the US publisher, they didn't alter the name. I assume you are in the States? You are welcome to contact them to ask about it - it's Aladdin (Simon and Schuster). They may have corrected the name in a reprint as I did ask my UK publisher to let them know. Best wishes, Paula

J. Galeas (Friday, 30 September 2022 07:31)

Hi Ms. Harrison,

We were confused when we began reading The Sea Pony because we didnt know who Maya was. My daughter went back through the series to show me that the there was no Maya anywhere - only Ava. Can you please clarify which is the correct name (Ava or Maya)?

May we request a book with the correct name so that our series is correct? I'm happy to return the one with the wrong name. It doesnt feel right having a series with different names for the same character in two different books.

Thanks for your time.

Paula Harrison (Monday, 26 September 2022 10:41)

Hi Olivia, thanks for getting in touch. I'm glad Amira is enjoying the books. I bet she looked fantastic in her Kitty costume! Paula xx

Olivia Hashesh (Sunday, 25 September 2022 14:05)

Hi Paula,
My daughter, Amira, loves your books and chose to dress as Kitty the Midnight Princess for Halloween! We had an early Halloween event to go to last night and her costume was a hit! Everyone wanted to know about Kitty and the books!

Renee craycraft (Saturday, 24 September 2022 17:34)

I have LRL Book Club. I was wondering if I could get some book plates for the the secret Resuers Books. That is the first book the girls wanted to do along with Kitty Next. I am ordering Hardback books so they last longer for the kids and they can pass down to their kids.

I was wondering if you can personalize to each girls. I know you are in the UK. IF you do a book plate and email me a pic of it, I can have it printed off and put it in the book for them. That is if you can.

My email address is miacraycraft@gmail.com.

I can't wait to hear from you.

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 15 September 2022 10:20)

Hi Zoe, I don't have any book stock at the moment having run out of storage space! But if you look online there are book websites where you can buy packs of the Kitty series at a cheaper price than buying them individually. Hope that helps and best of luck with your Halloween treasure hunt! Paula

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 15 September 2022 10:17)

Hi Honoka, thanks so much for your message. I'm pleased you like the Tiara Friends. There are four books in the series. But if you have read all four already, you may also like my Rescue Princesses series or the Kitty series which are also published in Japanese! Happy reading! Paula xx

Zoe Lane (Wednesday, 14 September 2022 21:23)

Hello
I'm writing on behalf of a PTA for an infant school (kids age 4-7 yrs). I'm looking for approx 220 childrens' books as prizes for a Halloween Treasure Hunt. Your Kitty books look fabulous and would fit the theme very well.
Budget is limited (albeit we do have a budget!) as we are a charity but asking if you have anything suitable, or any old stock that you could offer us a deal on?
I thought I'd get in touch directly with you as the author, as I thought it might be a good opportunity to get your Kitty range in front of a whole audience of 200+ families - realise you may not need the publicity though!
Look forward to hearing.
Many thanks
Zoe (in Bristol)
zoejlane@yahoo.co.uk

Honoka (Saturday, 10 September 2022 03:54)

Hi Paula, I am writing this on behalf of my 7-year old daughter Honoka from Tokyo. You may be surprised that your books are read in Japanese. Honoka loves the Tiara Friends books and can't wait to read a sequel. Did you know that Millie and Jess go by Mina and Tess here? (The book series is called Tesu To Mina (lit. Tess and Mina)) It would be great if you can share your plan for sequels.

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 23 August 2022)

Hi Darina and Herminka, I'm so pleased you've enjoyed the stories. As far as I know, the Czech publisher only bought 4 books for translation. There are 2 more available in English - The Star Wolf and The Sea Pony. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 23 August 2022 12:35)

Hi Roxie, I'm glad you liked them! Red Moon Rising is just three books. best wishes, Paula

Darina Kaiprová (Monday, 22 August 2022 19:29)

Dear Mrs.Harrison,
your Secret rescuers series are the first books my 8-years old daughter Hermínka read on her own. We have 4 of them translated into Czech and she hopes to be able to get the latest two translated into Czech language soon. Have you got an idea when is it going to be?
Grateful greetings from Hermínka to you.
Darina, Czech Republic.

(darina.kaiprova@seznam.cz)

Roxie (Monday, 15 August 2022)

I really enjoyed the red moon rising trilogy. Are there gonna be anymore?

Paula Harrison (Monday, 25 July 2022 21:26)

Thanks for your message! The Ava/ Maya name mix-up happened when my UK and US publishers didn't coordinate themselves very well. Leading to the mix up. I hope you're enjoying the Rescue Princesses too! Paula x

B. Matlock (Saturday, 09 July 2022 03:15)

We are really enjoying the Secret Rescuers series! Why did Ava’s name get changed to Maya from the Sky Unicorn story to the Sea Ponies book? We’re looking forward to starting the Rescue Princesses series next!

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 07 July 2022 15:44)

Hi Lolita, thanks for your message. No, sadly it doesn't look like the American publisher has taken these books and the UK publisher doesn't publish them in hardback. Sorry to disappoint you. Best wishes, Paula

Lolita Davenport (Tuesday, 05 July 2022 20:04)

Hi, I'm inquiring if the three latest Kitty books will be published in hardcover in the US. We have the first 6 in hardcover and would like to get the three new ones in hardcover also. My Granddaughter loves these books!! Thank you!

Paula Harrison (Friday, 10 June 2022 10:11)

Hi Violet, thanks for writing to me. I'm so pleased you like the Robyn Silver books. I would have liked to write a 3rd one but sadly there wasn't the money (at the publisher) to do it so I had to move on to a different series. But I've also written the Red Moon Rising trilogy for your age group - Red Moon Rising, Dark Tree Shining and Pale Peak Burning. If you like Robyn Silver and Harry Potter you might like those too! Paula x

Violet Coles (Monday, 06 June 2022 04:55)

Dear Paula

My name is Violet and I’m nine. I love Robyn Silver and I read the books over and over again and listen to the audio books too. Are you writing any more? Robyn Silver and Harry Potter are my favourite books.

Thank you for writing Robyn Silver

Violet

Paula Harrison (Friday, 03 June 2022 13:08)

Hello Sha, I think it's just the first three Kitty books that have been made into audiobooks at the moment. I'm glad she's enjoying them! Best wishes, Paula

Erin Jones (Monday, 30 May 2022 21:48)

Hi,
My daughters found your books this spring and have been reading them nonstop, especially the Kitty super hero cat girl ones. Thank you for writing,
Erin

Sha (Saturday, 28 May 2022 14:28)

Our daughter loves audio books and, as much as I love Julia Donaldson, I couldn't stand hearing the same short story on repeat, so I researched a chapter book I thought she might like and came up with Kitty and the Moonlight Rescue. She loves it and listens to it all the time, regularly borrowing lines from it for her own catty adventures.
Anyway, she's now managed to listen to that book so many times that I need to hear something else. She only wants to listen to Kitty stories so I was delighted that there are several. I've found two more audiobooks in the series but that's all. Are there any plans to publish the others as audiobooks? It will be a long time before she can read the chapter books for herself but she really does love them.
Sha

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 26 May 2022 11:35)

Hi Pranavi, I'm glad you like my stories! There are nine Kitty books out in the UK and six out in the USA, but I am writing some more at the moment. Happy reading! Paula

Pranavi V (Thursday, 19 May 2022 04:27)

Your books are good. I am making a lot of books with the same main character kitty. I am making 5 books.

Are you any making any more books?

Paula Harrison (Friday, 13 May 2022 11:25)

Hi Aven, it's lovely to hear from you! Yes I have a cat called Inky who gives me great inspiration for my books. He's a bit naughty sometimes! I love cats because they all have such different personalities. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Friday, 13 May 2022 11:23)

Hi Christine and Kenny! Thanks for your message. I love the idea of a showdown between those characters, but sadly I haven't been asked to write more Secret Rescuers books. I'm glad you enjoyed the series. Best wishes, Paula

Aven C. (Monday, 09 May 2022 19:26)

We were asked to write a letter to our favorite author, and I chose you. My name's Aven. I really like your books because every day's a new adventure in them. They take me to a whole new place. I love cats! What inspired you to write these amazing books? Why do you write? Do you have a cat of your own?

Christine and Kenny Klein (Sunday, 01 May 2022 02:50)

Hello, I hope it's okay for us to message you! My son Kenny and I really enjoyed the Secret Rescuers books. We wanted to know if you have any plans to write more stories for that series - we are really hoping for a show down between the Rescuers, the Magical Creatures and The Queen and Sir Fitzroy! We think Sophy could show them the error of their ways! Thank you very much. And Kenny wants me to add "three more thank yous"

Paula Harrison (Monday, 14 March 2022 10:15)

Hi Mindy, that's lovely to hear! If you write to me at Nosy Crow it will usually reach me quite quickly. Nosy Crow, The Crow’s Nest, Baden Place, Crosby Row, London, SE1 1YW England

Paula Harrison (Monday, 14 March 2022 10:13)

Hi Ben, thanks for getting in touch. It sounds like a fab idea but I am struggling to find time for everything at the moment. Perhaps I could get back in touch later in the year if my workload has calmed down? Thanks, Paula

Mindy (Sunday, 13 March 2022 22:38)

Hi Paula,

My daughter loves your books! She would love to write you a letter for a school project. What would the best address to use?

Thanks so much!
Mindy

Paula Harrison (Friday, 04 March 2022 13:04)

Hi Rosalinda! I'm so happy that you like the Kitty books and I hope you had a fantastic time on dress as a super hero day at school. Happy reading! Paula

Rosalinda Rappa (Wednesday, 02 March 2022 14:31)

Hi my name is Rosalinda. I’m 7 years old and I love your Kitty books because I love cats. Today is dress as a super hero day at school and I dressed as Kitty. Your books are the best in the world!

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 02 March 2022 14:05)

Hi Sarah Smalley, I'm going to delete your message after replying so that your address isn't visible. Thanks so much for your message. I'm so pleased Lottie enjoyed my visit to Rosemead. No I'm not local. But after my visit I went to Tales on Moon Lane book shop in Herne Hill to sign books for them and I left them with lots of signed bookplates. So it might work well to buy all the Kitty books from them? You can get signed copies! If not - my books are available to order in all Waterstones branches or independent book shops, or to order online from book shop websites/ Amazon. Hope that helps and happy reading! Paula xx

Brittany Lind (Monday, 21 February 2022 00:25)

Thanks for letting me know, i will go source them out. I can not wait to see what Kitty is up to next. My son (6) also thinks you should do a series just about Ozzy, can't say I disagree. Thanks again!

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 20 February 2022 22:17)

Hi Brittany, I'm so pleased your kids are enjoying Kitty! I don't think books 7, 8 and 9 are out in Canada and the US, so you'd need to purchase the English versions through an online bookstore to read them. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 20 February 2022 22:15)

Hi Noa, thanks so much for writing to me. I'm so pleased you're enjoying the Rescue Princesses and I wish you many more happy hours of reading. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 20 February 2022 22:11)

Hi Alina, sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I'd love to do the interview but I'm just struggling to find time for everything at the moment. Sorry to disappoint you. best wishes, Paula

Brittany Lind (Sunday, 20 February 2022 19:03)

Hi Paula,
My kids are HUGE Kitty fans. And here i was thinking we had them all (first 6) when I just discovered that there are 3 more. Do you know how I can buy these books in Canada? I can't seem to find a retailer. Our books are so worn in that I think the spines will give out soon.

Noa Kugler (Saturday, 19 February 2022 19:08)

Dear Paula,
I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Noa Kugler, I am 7 years old and I live in Jerusalem with my parents, my two brothers. I am writing to you regarding "The Rescue Princesses" series (well translated into Hebrew), which the first two books of it I have just finished reading with my father Yossi (who is helping me to write this email). It was a great experience for me and a great quality time with my father.

Besides improving my reading (I am now in first grade in an elementary school), the books helped me to better understand the importance of self-confidence, friendship and protecting the animals and nature.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series and your other books.

Thank you very much!
Noa Kugler (Yosikug@gmail.com)

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 27 January 2022 10:08)

Hi Claire, I'm glad you like Royal Rescues! I think a dolphin rescue is a great idea. Dolphins are such playful and lovable animals aren't they? Happy reading! Paula

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 27 January 2022 10:06)

Hi Olive, thanks for your lovely message. I'm really pleased you like The Rescue Princesses. I had a lot of fun writing the stories and making up adventures for all the different princesses! I hope you like the next one you're reading - The Stolen Crystals! Best wishes, Paula

Alina (Tuesday, 25 January 2022 10:35)

Hello Ms. Harrison,

Can I interview you for my YouTube vlog about your road to publication and about your writing process, please?

The goal of my Author Spotlight project is to inspire upcoming writers by sharing different succes stories. The focus of the interview will be on drafting, revising, school visits and on working with a literary agent after the publication of your debut novel.

Here is a link to my YouTube channel:

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Alina

Claire G (Monday, 24 January 2022 02:33)

Dear Paula Harrison,
I really like the series Royal Rescues and would like to make a suggestion. How about a dolphin rescue?
I like all the kinds of animals and the describing sentences you write and it really tells me what’s going on accurately.
Thank you,
From Claire

Olive Mowbray (Thursday, 20 January 2022 21:01)

Dear Paula,

My name is Olive and I am 6 years old. I love your Rescue Princess books. The next one I am going to read next is The Stolen Crystals. I enjoy your books because they involve lots of different people from around the world and I love all animals. I really like princesses and I can’t wait to finish the whole series! Thank for writing the books they make me feel like I will look after the world like the princesses.

Love Olive

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 20 January 2022 12:31)

Hi Karen, I think all UK offices are under a 'working from home' order for another week. I think someone will be back in after that, but if there has been a lot of mail received in the meantime it could take them a while to process it all. If you post it, do reassure her that I will reply once I get it even if that takes a while. Otherwise you could take a photo and post it on to twitter or instagram and tag me? Then I can respond more quickly. I know that's probably not the same though. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 20 January 2022 12:27)

Hi Megan, thanks for your question. No, The Sea Pony is the final Secret Rescuers book. I was asked to leave it slightly open ended in case there was a return to the series, but then I was asked to go on to new books. Best wishes, Paula

Karen (Wednesday, 19 January 2022 15:20)

Hi Paula, my daughter has hand written you a letter so I’m wondering if there’s somewhere I can post it to? Is the Nosy Crow office open and receiving mail for you yet?
Kind regards

Megan (Saturday, 15 January 2022 11:04)

Hi, are there any plans to finish the secret rescuers series? We just finished the last one and my son is keen to know what happens next? It felt like it was leading towards some bigger story throughout the series.

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 16 December 2021 14:17)

Hi Ella, thanks for your lovely message. I'm so pleased you like The Rescue Princesses. There are 15 books in the series altogether. I had the idea when I was thinking about animals in need one day. It's not too hard to become an author if you like writing stories but it's good to keep practising! Happy Christmas! Paula x

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 16 December 2021 14:15)

Hi Cat, thanks for your lovely message! I think you have some very interesting ideas there. I think that once you're a Rescue Princess you're always a Rescue Princess even when you grow up! Yes I think a prince could definitely be part of a rescue team. You might have to call it Rescue Royals! :) I love your idea for the biggest adventure yet! I hope you have a lovely time over the holidays. Best wishes, Paula

Ella (Tuesday, 14 December 2021 11:49)

Hi there, My name is Richard Austin, headteacher at Grayshott CE Primary School on the Surrey/Hampshire border. I gave the children in the school the chance to write to anyone in the world that they admire and one of our Year 2 children chose you. I notice from your website that it is better to ciontact you through here so here is her letter. It would mean the world to her if could find the time to get back to her.
Thanks.

Dear Mrs Harrison,
My name is Ella. I am in Blue Class at Grayshott Primary school. How did you get into writing The Rescue Princesses? I admire you because you make good rescue princess. How many rescue princesses have you made? thank you for taking the time to reading my letter and how much practise does it take to become an author.
yours sincerely,
Ella

Catherine Black (Friday, 10 December 2021 00:03)

Dear Paula,

My name is Catherine Black, but most people just call me Cat. I am 8 years old. I really admire your work with the Rescue Princesses. You are my favorite author of all time. A couple of questions I have are: What will happen when they’re grown up since there are no grown ups allowed? Will they have to give up being rescue princesses forever or will they get to stay since they created the rescue princesses? What if their kids became rescue princesses, but one of them has a brother to make it more of a challenge! Do you think you could make rescue princes that are more boy friendly? After I read your books I realized that I wanted to make rescue princesses books too and so I was wondering if I could someday make a rescue princess book where all the rescue princesses have to do their biggest adventure yet, battling all of their enemies, and rescuing many, many types of animals from danger, or what if Jaminta could make magic jewels that let them understand animals of any kind?

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 09 November 2021 09:44)

Hi Kayla! I'm so pleased that you love The Rescue Princesses. There are 15 books in the series altogether and I had a lot of fun writing them! I love your idea for a new series. Have fun reading and writing! Best wishes, Paula x

Kayla M. (Thursday, 04 November 2021 22:36)

Dear Paula Harrison,
I love your series "The Rescue Princesses" so much, please make more books I would love to read more. Even though I'm 12 almost 13, these 3rd grade books are me happy, they inspire me to read and write.

Sincerely, Kayla M.

P.S. How about making a series called "The Rescue Princes", but if not that's okay!

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 28 September 2021 11:00)

Hi Summer! That's so funny that you look just like the Summer in the book! I'm glad you're enjoying the stories. I especially enjoyed writing The Rainbow Opal because I think Australia is such a beautiful and interesting place. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 28 September 2021 10:56)

Hi Kara and Alexandro, my UK publisher (Oxford University Press) have said that their guidelines are that you must:
- Say the story is read with permission of OUP at the start
- State the book and author title
- Is there is a recording, share through a private platform if possible
- Record in sections of a few chapters if possible (rather than the whole book in one video)
- Delete the video one month after upload
Of course if you're reading from the HarperCollins edition published in the States they might have slightly different rules, but I would have thought they would be similar. You could always email them and ask. Hope that helps! Best wishes, Paula

Summer Gill (Tuesday, 28 September 2021 03:48)

Hi Paula,
My name is Summer and I am 8 years old from Australia. I like reading the Rescue Princesses. I am similar to the Summer in The Rescue Princesses - The Rainbow Opal.
I have blonde hair and dress just like her. I dressed up as her for Bookweek this term and my teacher thought it was freaky because I was in a book!

Paula Harrison (Friday, 10 September 2021 09:31)

Hi Kara and Alexandro, thanks for your messages below. I've asked my publisher to confirm whether I'm allowed to give you permission for online readings. I'll get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.

Best wishes, Paula

Hello, my name is Kara Agyekum and I am an online teacher through the website Outschool. One of my favorite classes I offer is an online book club about girl superheroes! Some of my students' favorite books are Kitty' midnight Adventures. While students are required to purchase the book for themselves in order to take part in the book club, I wanted to seek your permission to read aloud during class and perhaps use the book cover for promotional materials. Would this be possible? Thank you so much!

Hi Sofija,
Thanks for your lovely message. I wrote book 12 about the Royal Academy for Princesses quite a few years ago, so it's really hard to remember all the details! I think Maya was too young to go to the Academy at first and she went later. Best wishes, Paula

Sofija (Friday, 06 August 2021 05:50)

Hello Miss Harrison. I am a big fan of your books and I have a question about your Rescue Princesses series. Why didn't Princess Maya go to the Royal Academy for Princesses?

Dear Paula,

My 7-year-old daughter, June, has been a great fan of your books for the past 2 years. She recently wrote her own book, and she made a dedication page to you! You are a huge inspiration to her.

Thank you,
Susan

Hi Mila, I didn't change Ava to Maya it was a mistake made by my UK and US publishers. I hadn't decided for sure what the cloud bears' powers would be. No, I don't think there will be more Secret Rescuers books as I was asked to move on to writing new things. Best wishes, Paula

Mila Longley (Thursday, 17 June 2021 05:11)

We’ve been searching everywhere online. Hoping you could answer 3 questions:

1. Why did ava change to maya?

2. What was going to be the magical power of the cloud bear?

3. Will there ever be more secret rescuer books?

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 10 June 2021 10:16)

Hi Lillian, thanks for getting in touch. No the books weren't based on Meghan and Harry. I think I started writing the series before they got together. But I do like the idea that princesses can come from different backgrounds and places. I tried to reflect this in my Rescue Princesses books too. Like you I used to be a teacher and that has influenced me a lot. Best wishes, Paula

Lillian Jane Steele, MA (Tuesday, 08 June 2021 08:06)

Just discovered your series of books. What inspired you to create fiction books about "princesses of color"? Does Megan and her marriage and children with Harry have something to do with this? You are a good writer and please add me to your list. I am a retired educator of color. Thanks. LJ Steele,MA

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 25 May 2021 09:16)

Hi Chrystal, I'm so pleased that your daughter loves the Kitty books! I hope you all enjoy the new ones too. Do say hello to her from me! Best wishes, Paula

Chrystal (Saturday, 22 May 2021 14:43)

Hi Paula, greetings from Singapore! Thank you for writing the Kitty series. My almost 7 year old daughter loves them so much that she wrote about Kitty as her favourite superhero in her journal assignment. We also love how she's been using words like "kerfuffle", that she learnt from your books. We've read the first 5 books, and can't wait to read the others as soon as they're available to us :)

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 27 April 2021 12:38)

Dear Kate, it's lovely to hear that he likes the Secret Rescuers! No, there's no dolphin book. The plan for that book became The Sea Pony. Best wishes, Paula

Kate Rouvray (Monday, 26 April 2021 02:07)

Dear Ms Harrison,

My son absolutely LOVES your secret rescuers series and we have almost read them all. He seems to think that there is a dolphin book too however, I can't seem to locate this book.
Can you please let me know?

Best,

Kate Rouvray

Hi Sadie, I'm so glad you're enjoying The Rescue Princesses. I loved writing the Rainbow Opal with the cute and cuddly koala! Summer didn't like the dress because she doesn't like frills very much. I think she would have preferred something plainer. Happy reading! Paula x

Sadie Lang (Wednesday, 21 April 2021 01:51)

I am six years old and am reading and loving your Rescue Princesses series. I just finished The Rainbow Opal and have a question. Why did Summer so dislike the frilly dress her mum chose for her. From your pictures I thought it looked beautiful on her? Thank you for writing books I enjoy reading. Sadie.

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 20 April 2021 21:42)

Hi Penny, thanks for writing to me. I'm glad you love the Secret Rescuers. I had a lot of fun writing those, but sadly my publisher asked me to stop after book 6 and write something else. I wanted to write the Cloud Bear story next. They live in the mountains and I thought a book about them would be a lot of fun.
At the moment, I am working on the 9th Kitty book so expect a few more superhero adventures there! If you move into longer books you might like my Red Moon Rising trilogy but they are trickier books to read than Secret Rescuers. Best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 20 April 2021 21:38)

Hi Clara, thanks for sending me a message! I'm so glad you like my books and don't worry about what other people say! They just need to accept that different people like different things. I still watch cartoons with my kids. I really like them and I'm in my 40's!!
I wrote 15 Rescue Princesses books and then my publisher asked me to move onto something else. I'm glad you're having a go at writing your own story because writing is a lot of fun. My tips would be to make a story plan before you start and to put lots of exciting detail into your story. best wishes, Paula xx

Penelope (Monday, 19 April 2021 21:52)

Dear Mrs. Harrison, I love your books so much! The Secret Rescuers is my favorite, and my mom got me all the books for my birthday. Wolves are my favorite animals, so I saw The Star Wolf first at the library, and after that, I read your Kitty books too! I am wondering if there will be more Secret Rescuer books? I would love to read about cloud bears and silver dolphins that Sophy is going to the Great Ocean to help (dolphins are my other favorite animals). Thank you! Love, Penny (I just turned 9!)

Clara Park (Monday, 19 April 2021 04:47)

hi paula, don't know if you got my messes hope you did

Clara Park (Saturday, 17 April 2021 18:32)

Dear,
Ms. Harrison first off I need to say I love! your books even if a bunch of people, classmates of mine, make fun of me for liking them because I'm 15 and I still love books and Tv shows for younger children.
I was hoping you could wright more rescue Princess books, I have lots of ideas, and I'm also working on writhing my own book, and was wandering if you had some tips for me?

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 15 April 2021 09:39)

Hi Sarah, I'm so pleased that Anna loves the Kitty series! I hope she had a great time on super hero day. If you're on twitter or Instagram you can find me there and tag me on the photo. Or you could post another comment here with your email in and I'll reply that way. best wishes, Paula x

Anna Kinnaird (Wednesday, 14 April 2021 21:56)

Hi,
This is actually Anna’s mum, Sarah. Anna is almost 6 and LOVES the Kitty series. Her twin brother enjoys them too but Anna loves to read over and over. She chose Kitty as her costume for super hero day at school this week and made most of the outfit herself. Is there a way to send to a photo? She’ me be so excited if she thought you’d seen it !

Paula Harrison (Friday, 09 April 2021 12:07)

Hi Jessica, I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I know that Scarlett is having her 9th birthday but I don't remember the exact date. Hope that helps! Paula

Jessica (Tuesday, 06 April 2021 14:42)

Dear Paula Harrison
i enjoy your books the rescue princesses the Enchanted ruby. However, the character princess Scarlet's birthday isn't in the text.
Could you please tell me what date is Scarlet's birthday?
sincerely Jessica, 7 years old.

Paula Harrison (Monday, 15 March 2021 09:29)

Hi Sally, I'm so pleased you've been having fun reading Secret Rescuers. The name change in The Sea Pony is due to a mistake made by the publishers when the story was sent from the UK to the States. I get asked about it all the time but unfortunately there was nothing I could do! Best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 15 March 2021 09:27)

Hi Georgia, that sounds like a lovely idea! Don't worry there are a few more Kitty books to come. Happy reading! best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 15 March 2021 09:26)

Hi Eleanor, I'm so pleased you've been enjoying the Rescue Princesses and what a good idea to write a book for Samantha! If you message again with your email address, I'll be able to send you mine so that you can send me the story. I hope you had fun writing it. Best wishes, Paula x

Sally Grau (Sunday, 14 March 2021 23:59)

Dear Ms. Paula Harrison,

My daughter Amelia (almost 6 years old) and I have been reading your Secret Rescuers books. We love them! In fact, we have been sharing them with all of our friends, and they love them too. :) We love how brave all of the girls are who rescue the magical animals from the evil Sir Fitzroy. Our favorite story is the story of how Ava, the dancer in the traveling troupe, rescued the Sky Unicorn foal Clover. We wanted to write to you and tell you how much we love your stories.

We just started reading The Secret Rescuers: The Sea Pony, and we are confused -- that is another reason we decided to write to you. On page 9 of The Sea Pony, when the dragon and sky unicorn land and the girls all meet each other, the two traveling girls introduce themselves to Grace (the new character) as Maya and Sophy. Maya says they have come from Blyford next to Misty Lake near the Emerald Plains, and says "My family and I had sailed there on our boats because we're traveling performers." However, my daughter and I just finished reading the Sky Unicorn, which is about the character named Ava, who is the dancer in Mr. Inigo's Amazing Traveling Troupe. Did you change the character's name from Ava to Maya? And if so, why? We have found it confusing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our letter. And, moreover, thank you for creating this wonderful imaginary world we have enjoyed so much.

Sincerely,
Sally (and Amelia) Grau, your fans :)
Asheville, North Carolina, United States

Georgia (Thursday, 11 March 2021 02:41)

To mrs.Harrison can you write a book where kitty’s mom helps her in a adventure? Is kitty and the twilight trouble the last book or will there be a book 7?

your fan Georgia!

Eleanor Stratton (Wednesday, 10 March 2021 17:26)

Hi Ms Harrison. My name is Eleanor and I am 7. I love the Rescue princess books. I wrote a sequel to them for the Samantha princess so there could be 16 books and I want to send it to you. My mom says I can email it if you want to see it. I hope you enjoy the book! Sincerely, Eleanor

Paula Harrison (Friday, 26 February 2021 09:25)

Hi Richard, I'm glad you liked Robyn Silver 1 and 2. Sadly the publisher didn't want to do a book 3. This kind of thing happens to authors all the time! If you like this kind of fantasy adventure I'd recommend something like the Percy Jackson books. Have you tried those? Best wishes, Paula

Richard Brown (Tuesday, 23 February 2021 20:04)

Hi Paula could you please write a Robyn silver 3 because I really enjoyed 1 and 2. I also really like you monster compendiums.

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 16 February 2021 13:57)

Hi Tessa, no problem. This is for Josephine:

Hi Josephine, I hope you're having an amazing World Book Day! I hear that you love the Kitty books so I just wanted to write you a message to say thanks for being such a wonderful fan of the series. I hope you're having fun today and doing some great book-y activities. You could let your mum share those with me on instagram or twitter if you wanted. Have a great time and keep reading! Best wishes, Paula Harrison

Tessa Lamb (Saturday, 13 February 2021 11:43)

Hope you are doing well in these bonkers times! I have a request for you - hope that's ok. It looks like the schools will still be closed for world book day this year - it is one of my daughters favorite days and I was hoping to make it a bit special. Anyway - she loves your Kitty books, so it would be incredible if you could record a quick message or respond to this with a message I could read to her (her name is Josephine btw - she is 6). Also happy to pay some money/ donate to your favorite charity in return! Hope you have a good day! What a strange world it is where I can just message you... Tessa

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 09 February 2021 09:50)

Hi Hollyberry, the publisher is the one who pays money to have the books printed in a factory so, because they're the one spending money, they get to decide how many books go in each series. Hope that makes sense! Paula xx

Hollyberry Sweetie (Thursday, 04 February 2021 23:56)

Hi, Paula Harrison,
Thank you for writing back. Is there a reason why you are not sure there will be future Princess of Pets books?

Paula Harrison (Monday, 01 February 2021 10:14)

Hi Hollyberry, yes all the princesses spent some time at Harebell Castle. Yes I do have a pet! I have a black cat called Inky. He's very cute but very naughty!
I'm not sure there'll be more Princess of Pets books after the Runaway Rabbit, but if you run out of books to read you may like one of my other series! Best wishes, Paula

Hollyberry Sweetie (Thursday, 28 January 2021 02:36)

Hi, again, Paula Harrison,

It's Hollyberry Sweetie again! Thank you for answering my questions. I have some more questions

1. How old is Molly? Is she the same age as Emily, Clarabel, Lulu, Jaminta, and Freya?
2. Did Amina, Isabella, and Maya come to Harebell Castle?
3. If you went to Harebell Castle, which tower would you want to stay?
4. If you had a pet, what animal would it be?
5. What would you name your pet?
6. Are you writing any more Princess of Pets books after The Runaway Rabbit?

Hollyberry Sweetie

Paula Harrison (Monday, 25 January 2021 11:17)

Hi Hollyberry, thanks for sending me a message! I'm so glad you're enjoying the books. Yes, Molly stayed as one of the Seahorse captains and yes the shell leads to many passages around the castle.
I think a lot of the Speaking Stones got lost over time. Then people forgot what they were used for. I hope you enjoy The Runaway Rabbit. Happy reading! Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 25 January 2021 11:13)

Hi Sidra, thanks for your message. I'm very well thanks. I hope you are too! Unfortunately my publisher wanted just three Red Moon Rising books. I'm glad you're enjoying them! Best wishes, Paula

Hollyberry Sweetie (Wednesday, 20 January 2021 16:15)

Hi, Paula Harrison,

I really love your books. I just finished The Golden Shell. Is Molly still the one of the Seahorse Captains? Or did she lose the position? Does the Golden Shell lead to other passageways at Harebell Castle?
I read an excerpt of The Runaway Rabbit on the Nosy Crow website. I can't wait until it comes out! If you went to Mrs. Rinberg's candy store, what would you buy? I would definitely buy those rainbow stars. They must be very pretty and very colorful.
My favorite series is The Secret Rescuers. I have one important question. I think the people of Arramia got much better with the magical creatures in the past. In the Magic Fox, the father scarlet fox said that his grandfather met a human who had a Speaking Stone. Ava (or Maya's) dad said that her grandma used to ride a dragon. So this tells us that a lot of people had Speaking Stones in the past. How come people don't know about these Speaking Stones anymore. Maybe one of King Rupert's ancestors hated the magical animals and banned the Speaking Stones, and the stones became forgotten in history. I think King Rupert loved the magical creatures, but he never told anyone about the stones. I wonder why he would keep them a secret? What do you think?

Best Dreams and Wishes,
Hollyberry Sweetie

Sidra (Wednesday, 20 January 2021 08:19)

Hello Mrs. Harrison

How are you? I am fine. Sorry it took me so long to reply. As you know schools are open and I've got loads to do! Are you writing more books these days? I wanted to request you to write another book of the red moon rising series. I've got some homework to do so bye!

Paula Harrison (Friday, 01 January 2021 18:27)

Hi Ever and Jude,
Happy New Year! The mistake with Ava's name was made when the incorrect file was sent from a UK publisher to the publisher in the States. It wasn't something I could prevent as I wasn't given the opportunity to check the book before printing. I hope you like the story. Best wishes, Paula

Ever and Jude (Friday, 01 January 2021 04:59)

Hi Paula,

Thanks so much for getting back to us and happy new year! We just started chapter 1 of The Sea Pony book. Why is Maya the one on the sky unicorn and not Ava?? We are so confused!

Thanks,
Ever and Jude

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 23 December 2020 10:33)

Dear Ever and Jude, thanks for writing to me! That's so great that you love Kitty and Secret Rescuers. There are quite a few more Kitty books to come but sadly no more Secret Rescuers books at the moment. I would have loved to have written a cloud bear book! Happy Holidays and hope you have a lovely time! best wishes, Paula xx

Ever and Jude (Tuesday, 22 December 2020 21:02)

Hi Ms. Harrison,

We are five years old and live in California. We love the Kitty series and the Secret Rescuers series. Our mama has read most of the books aloud to us at bedtime. We also like to pretend to be the characters during playtime. Is there going to be a Secret Rescuers book about cloud bears? We heard about them in some of the other books but don't see a whole book about them. We really want to read about them! Will there be a book 7?

Thank you,
Ever and Jude and their mama

Paula Harrison (Monday, 14 December 2020 10:03)

Dear Gabriel, thanks so much for your awesome message. It's great to hear that you like Robyn Silver so much! There are just two Robyn Silver books - The Midnight Chimes and The Darkest Dream. I thought up the characters one night as I was lying in bed and the clock struck midnight! It's great to hear you're learning to use the bow and arrow - it's such a great skill. I hope you have a fantastic holidays and keep reading! Best wishes, Paula

Gabriel Ashworth-Steen (Saturday, 12 December 2020 19:12)

Dear Paula,

I am writing this letter with my son Gabriel. Gabriel has never been a big reader until he fell in love with your book-Robyn Silver. He found this in the school library and has not put it down. He knows it inside out and has done all the activity sheets. It’s wonderful for us to see him so immersed in a book and picking it up in his own time and now telling us that he loves reading and staying up until he’s finished a chapter. He wanted to send you a note to say thank you.

From Gabriel (8 years old) - thank you for making Robyn silver. How much more books will there be? What inspired you to make it? I would like to be like Robyn Silver because she’s funny and strong. What inspired you to make Robyn Silver and Aidan and Nora? Funnily my mum’s name is Robyn! I am practising the bow and arrow like in the book.

Thank you so much!!!

Robyn and Gabriel

Paula Harrison (Monday, 07 December 2020 09:35)

Dear Ariana Isabella Castro, thanks for your lovely message. I haven't published it here because you put your address on it and I didn't want to make that public. I love that you have an idea for Rescue Princesses book 13! Actually there is ALREADY a Rescue Princesses book 13 and a book 14 and 15 too! It's just that if you live in America it wasn't published there. But you could probably buy it online if you wanted to. Book 13 is called The Enchanted Ruby. Book 14 is called The Star Bracelet and book 15 is called The Amber Necklace. Best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 07 December 2020 09:31)

Dear Eleanor, I'm so pleased your daughter loves the Kitty stories! I bet she'll look amazing in the Kitty costume. I'm afraid I don't have a proof for the next Kitty book yet. I think it's probably still in the process of being printed. I hope she has a wonderful birthday though! I could recommend a book from one of my other series instead if that works? She might like The Secret Rescuers for example. The Storm Dragon is the first book in that series. But if she would rather stick to the Kitty books then I hope she has a lot of fun with them. Best wishes, Paula x

Eleanor Shember (Sunday, 06 December 2020 15:02)

Dear Paula
My daughter, Mathilda, is a HUGE fan of the Kitty books. They have really encouraged her to start reading for herself. We are constructing a Kitty outfit for her this Christmas - fortunately black dungarees and a black/orange striped top are very wearable. The latest Kitty adventure isn’t released until February. Is it at all possible to purchase a proof in time for her sixth birthday on 28 December?
Yours,
ELeanor

Paula Harrison (Friday, 27 November 2020 21:43)

Hi Sidra, thanks for your messages. I'm glad you're OK. I'm pleased you like the Red Moon Rising books. There are 3 books in that series and I enjoyed writing them a lot. I hope everything is going well where you live. It's getting a lot colder here and sometimes my fingers get very cold when I type my stories! best wishes, Paula

Sidra (Thursday, 26 November 2020 13:51)

Hi Paula!
How are you? I am fine. I was just wondering that could you write a few more red moon rising series I love them and just want to read many more!
Best wishes
XOXO
Sidra, Pakistan

Sidra (Thursday, 19 November 2020 13:35)

Hi Paula. I'm sorry I didn't reply. I am very busy these days because my schools have reopened, so I have loads to do! So lately I was reading the wishing pearl over and over again because as the covid is getting more and more so I can't buy the books. But soon I will. Bye.

Love from Sidra,
Islamabad, Pakistan

Paula Harrison (Friday, 06 November 2020 11:10)

Hi Anna, thanks so much for your lovely message. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the Rescue Princesses so much! Messages like yours are the reason that authors like me go on writing. It's brilliant to hear how much you loved them and how many you read. I hope your little sister enjoys them too!
I hope all is well in New York. It's been a strange year here in England but we are all looking forward to a nice peaceful Christmas. Best wishes to you and all your family, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 03 November 2020 09:48)

Dear Julie, thanks so much for writing to me! I'm glad you've enjoyed so many of my books. You are obviously a big reader! I think The Magic Fox is one of my favourites too (sorry English spelling of favourite!). Working in the candle shop sounds wonderful doesn't it? Yes, I did know that there are magical foxes in some cultures around the world, but I didn't know that in Chinese fairy tales each tail of the fox means that it's lived for 100 years. That's amazing! I will find out more about these stories as they sound really interesting.
To answer your questions: I think Prince Olaf just wanted to be friends really. I love roses so I think I would plant those. Royal Rescues and Princess of Pets is the same series. It's just that my English publisher wanted to call it Princess of Pets and my American publisher wanted to call it Royal Rescues. The stories are the same apart from a few changed words and spellings. Sometimes we have different words for things in the UK. For example, we call flashlights - torches! If I could write about more animals I think I'd choose brown bears or even magical bears! Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 03 November 2020 09:32)

Dear Anton, thanks for your lovely message! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I am so pleased that Irina loved the Secret Rescuers books. I think her idea of a story about a little deer is wonderful! I love hearing about readers who have enjoyed my books. It's so important to find a story that sparks their imagination, especially at that early stage when they are still learning to read.
I'm sorry there are only three Secret Rescuers books. My "Kitty" books are also being translated into Russian but I'm not sure whether they have been published yet.
To answer Irina's question: when Sir Fitzroy was a little boy he met a unicorn in the wood and his yelling startled the creature. The unicorn bumped into him as it ran away and he was hurt by accident. I hope that helps! Thanks again for your lovely message and hope you are all well in these difficult times.
Best wishes, Paula

Anna (New York) (Monday, 02 November 2020 15:02)

Dear Mrs. Harrison,
I really want to thank you. I remember when I was in 1st grade and I lived in Utah, and my school was holding a book fair. I wanted your Rescue Princesses The Secret Promise Book so bad. I bought it, and immediately fell in love with it. When I went back in class, I asked my teacher if I could skip the activity we were doing and read instead! She was shocked but said yes and I spent the rest of class reading my new book. That book felt so real to me, and I think it really helped start my love of reading. On the back of the book, it said it was at a 3rd grade reading level, and I was so proud of myself for reading such a “hard” book. To this day, I love hard books that are above my grade level. The next time I had a birthday, my family gave me the next 3 books in the series and I loved those as well. I got 3 more books from the series, at different book fairs that came. They were not in order, but I still loved them. I still have books, 1,2,3,4,7,9 and 11. I recently was just looking at my bookshelf and found my old collection of your books. I saw your name on the cover and decided to see how you are doing. So hello! I also had no idea that you wrote other series, but I wish I had known sooner, I am sure I would have loved those as well. Next year I am going into high school, I really loved your book, and wanted to say thank you, and please keep writing! I have a younger sister, and once she is a little older, I am going to have her read these books too! Hope you are staying safe and healthy! Love from New York!

Julie Yeh (Tuesday, 27 October 2020 19:07)

Hi, there, Mrs. Harrison,

I really love the Rescue Princesses, the Secret Rescuers, Kitty, and the Royal Rescue series. My favorite books are The Magic Fox, The Star Wolf, Kitty and the Sky Garden Adventure, The Snowy Reindeer, The Star Bracelet, The Amber Necklace, The Rainbow Opal, The Snow Jewel, The Enchanted Ruby, The Cuddly Seal, The Baby Firebird, and Kitty and the Moonlight Rescue.

My most favorite Secret Rescuer book is the Magic Fox. If I could find a job, I would work at Poppy's aunt and uncle's candle workshop selling the colorful candles. Are there other types of candles besides the Blue Whispers and Golden Sparkles and others? I am Chinese. Did you know in Chinese fairy tales there is a magic fox with several tails just like the scarlet foxes? They are called nine-tailed foxes or fox spirits. Each tail means that the fox has already lived 100 years. With nine tails, my mom told me it can live up to 900 years. But unlike the scarlet foxes, the nine-tailed foxes cannot change color. They are white, not scarlet. They are sometimes friendly, but sometimes they would pull pranks on humans. You can learn more about them online.

Does Prince Olaf have a crush on Princess Lulu in the Moonlight Mystery? It looked like he want to impress her. Kitty wanted to plant a sunflower in Kitty and the Sky Garden Adventure for her school project. I would plant roses, daisies, violets, and bluebells. What would you want to plant? How come the Princess of Pets in now known as the Royal Rescues?

I was told from the questions below that you are too busy writing the Kitty and Royal Rescue books that you don't have time to write more Rescue Princesses and Secret Rescuers books. If you do have time, what animals would you write about next for those two series?

Julie Yeh

Anton Tumasov (Russia) (Saturday, 24 October 2020 21:02)

Good afternoon, dear Paula!

My name is Anton. I’m 38. I live in Russia, in Nizhny Novgorod (400 km to the east from Moscow).
I am the father of 9 years old daughter Irina.
Not long ago I had a problem – my little daughter did not like reading any books. She found it boring, not so interesting as watching TV or playing laptop games. I bought her several books with tales, with colored pictures, but nothing was interesting for her.

One day I was searching something new in internet bookshop (https://www.labirint.ru/authors/214900/) and found a small book The Storm Dragon (the first book from The Secret Rescuers series). First of all, I was impressed by really attractive illustrations made by Sophy Williams. I decided that such a beautiful thing must be a subject of interest of my daughter. I bought this book.

The first reaction of Irina was the same as always: “Dad, I don’t want to read it… it is so boring”.
I promised her that if she would start, she changes her opinion. She agreed… And then the magic happened! She gone too deep into the story and forgot about everything. The story about the magical Kingdom of Arramia and a little girl who has an ability to talk with the dragon was really exiting. I was glad and bought her all other books from The Secret Rescuers series. She read them all without any hesitation. The story “The Storm Dragon” and “The Star Wolf” were her favorites.

When the last book about The Sea Pony was over, my daughter asked me: “Dad, what the next story will be about?”. It was too difficult for me to say, that Paula Harrison wrote only 6 stories about The Secret Rescuers. After this Irina said: “It would be perfect to read about any other magic animal. May be a Small Deer from birch forest that has a magical power to heal sick trees and grow beautiful flowers where they were plucked or destroyed. But how we can say it to the author?”

That is why I decided to write this e-mail. I would like to say many thanks to you: Paula and Sophy and all team who worked upon The Secret Rescuers series (including Russian translator Anastasia Brotskaya). Thank you very much! You all are talented! It is not a compliment it is the true! With the help of your books I found a way how to show my daughter that reading could be more interesting than watching TV or playing laptop games. I did it! Your books helped me!

Dear Paula, I had shown my daughter your web-page: photos, some information about you. Irina was impressed and rapidly said: “I just have one question to Paula: the first book “The Storm Dragon” said that Sir Fitzroy, when he was a boy, met the Unicorn, who wounded him with a horn. Why it was happened? Did Sir Fitzroy hit Unicorn? All children are kind. Maybe Little Fitzroy was unhappy and angry?”.
Sorry for such a request, but any comment from you would be wonderful.

Sorry for such a long letter. I hope that you read it all.
Thank you again for your excellent books!
All the best to you and your nearest and dearest!

From Russia with love,
dad Anton and daughter Irina.

Hi Sidra, I'm glad you're enjoying them. Yes, Jaminta's skill is almost like magic! Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 03 September 2020 11:32)

Hi Kavi, thanks for the reply and happy reading! Best wishes, Paula

Sidra (Wednesday, 02 September 2020 15:38)

Hello, I am glad you replied. You know, I love reading books, My favorite books are your books.

My favorite books are the Kitty midnight adventures, Tiara friends, Red moon rising and Rescue princesses. I have only read series of Tiara friends and four series of The rescue princesses. The case of the stolen crown was the series of tiara friends and The secret promise, The wishing pearl, the moonlit mystery and the stolen crystals were the series I read of rescue princesses. I actually like all the princesses. I am amazed by the talent of Jaminta. How she can shape the crystals to bring their power into it.

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 02 September 2020 09:24)

Hi Sidra, I'm pleased you like The Moonlit Mystery. Lulu is a very brave sort of character I think! Happy reading! Paula

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 02 September 2020 09:22)

Hi Emarry, thanks so much for writing to me! I'm glad you love The Secret Rescuers. I don't have any plans for writing a cloud bears book at the moment because I'm so busy writing the Royal Rescues and the Kitty series. Best wishes, Paula

Kavi (Sri Lanka) (Monday, 31 August 2020 06:07)

Hi Paula,
Sorry for the late reply. I was too much busy in this month because our schools have started now and we have lots lots of works to do....
I am so glad know that you were writing again books.... I really love them. Enjoy with writing books and also looking forward to enjoy them...

Best wishes,
From Kavi

Sidra Saad (Saturday, 29 August 2020 13:01)

Hello. I hope you are doing well these days. Yes I do have a favorite book It is the rescue princesses moonlit mystery. I like Lulu the most. I have black hair just as she does but my hair are strait not wavy. And I forgot to tell you that I am 8 years old.
Best wishes,Sidra Pakistan

Emarry Chen (Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:37)

Hi Paula, I have a question. Are you going to make a book about rescuing the cloud bears? Oh and I really love you secret rescuers books!

Emarry Chen (Monday, 24 August 2020 17:57)

I love the Secret Rescuers books. Also about the cloud bears, are you going to make a book about rescuing the cloud bear?

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 05 August 2020 09:14)

Hi Kavi, sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I'm fine, thank you! I'm glad your school is opening. You must be getting ready to go back there now. I have been busy writing some more books and that's been a lot of fun! best wishes, Paula

Kavi (Thursday, 23 July 2020 07:44)

Hi Paula,
How are you? I hope you will bw fine. You were write our schools will be open on 10th of August..... It is a very good news for me and my friends.... How about you?
Best wishes!
Kavi.....

Amelie (New Zealand) (Thursday, 23 July 2020 06:03)

Thank you! Once I have finished typing it up onto the computer I will definitely send a chapter or two to you!

Paula Harrison (Monday, 20 July 2020 11:16)

Hi Amelie, thank you for writing to me. I'm so pleased you like the Red Moon Rising books. Your idea for a 4th book sounds brilliant and I love the title too! Yes I would have dearly loved to have carried on those stories, but sadly it's not always the author that gets to decide when to end a series. The publisher pays for the printing of the books etc. - I hope that makes sense! I would definitely have written about the Greytail Myrical next and there would have been quite a lot of shape-shifting in the story - which the Greytails are able to do of course. You are very welcome to paste some of the story into the form on this page if you want to share! The other way is posted it to me via the Nosy Crow address on the contact page but the post from New Zealand to here might take a while! Best wishes, Paula x

Amelie (New Zealand) (Thursday, 16 July 2020 01:40)

Hello Ms. Harrison,
My name is Amelie. I am nine years old and live in New Zealand. I am a huge fan of Red Moon Rising, Rescue Princesses and Secret Rescuers. I only just discovered that Red Moon Rising is a trilogy and I have been writing a fourth book in which Laney, Claudia and Fletcher find the Greytail Myrical. I would really like more books! It is called Bright Tiger Pouncing and I am working on a front cover. If you would like to read some of it I can send you some. It explores Laney's and Claudia's family history and uncovers some deep secrets about the Child of Aether prophecy and Laney's mother.
Thank you!
From Amelie

Paula Harrison (Monday, 29 June 2020 12:30)

Hello Sidra, thanks for writing to me. I hope your online classes are going well. I'm pleased you like my books. Do you have a favourite one? Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 29 June 2020 12:29)

Hi Elsa, I think you're right the main character of the cloud bears stories should definitely live in the mountains. Perhaps there's a whole village up there. Yes the cloud bears can make clouds with their misty breath. They're really magical creatures! Best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 29 June 2020 12:25)

Hi Betsy, I love chocolate muffins and I love strawberries just like you! I think hippos are great but my favourite safari animals are elephants. I also love polar bears, whales, cats and bees! I have just finished writing a book about a bunny actually for the Royal Rescues series. It's going to be called The Runaway Rabbit! Best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 29 June 2020 12:21)

Hi Kavi, I hope your school opens again soon. You must miss it a lot. Here in England schools are open but only for a small number of students at a time. I am sure that things will get better even if it takes a little time. Best wishes, Paula

Sidra (Thursday, 25 June 2020 17:08)

Hello. I'm writing from Islamabad Pakistan. I'm having classes online because of covid-19. I'm having exams online as well .I really like your books
Best wishes

Elsa A. (Thursday, 25 June 2020 05:20)

Thank you for telling me about the cloud bears, Paula. But what kinds of abilities do they have? Can they make clouds?

I think maybe the person who should rescue the cloud bears should live in the mountains too.

Betsy (Tuesday, 23 June 2020 00:09)

Hi, Paula, here are some other questions. What desserts do you like? What fruit do you like? I like strawberry cake and strawberries. Yes, I'm a strawberry lover! I also like chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies.
Since you like writing about animal rescues, what is your favorite safari animal? Arctic animal? Sea animal? Insect? Pet animal?
My favorite safari animal is a hippo. I like polar bears and penguins and seals as my favorite arctic animals. My favorite sea animals are dolphins, just like Princess Clarabel, and seahorses. I like ladybugs as my favorite insect, and my favorite pet would definitely be a bunny.

Kavi (Sunday, 21 June 2020 18:15)

Hi Paula,
Thank you for writing..... In here virus pandamic is much low than the other countries. But still we are not allowed to go school as students.... We are learning school lessons and other class works through online. We are looking forward to go school again....
Hope you will be okay and stay positive...
Be safe...
Love from Kavi...(Sri Lanka)

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 21 June 2020 18:02)

Hi Elsa, thank you for writing to me. The cloud bears live in the mountains. They can't fly but they are very soft and furry, and usually good-natured. I am not sure who the main character in a cloud bears story should be. What do you think? Best wishes, Paula xx

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 21 June 2020 18:00)

Hi Kavi, you're welcome! Yes it's a very strange time here too. But I am trying to stay positive and have courage just like Millie and Jess in Tiara Friends! I hope you're OK too. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 21 June 2020 17:58)

Hi Betsy, sorry it's taken me so long to reply! Thanks for all your questions. I'm afraid I can't answer all of the Rescue Princesses ones as the books were written a few years ago and I can't remember the answers to all of the things you're asking. I think that Molly did improve her behaviour though, and yes there was an Academy for the princes.
Grace had to put her Speaking Stone into the water as its powers are linked to the sea. Yes, Max has superpowers too! Yes, Kitty can talk to all animals, not just cats.
Do you have a favourite series out of the ones you've read? Happy reading!
Best wishes, Paula xx

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 14 June 2020 11:16)

Hello everyone, I'm hugely busy right now but I haven't forgotten your messages. Please bear with me for a few days while I catch up. I'll reply to everyone very soon. Paula x

Elsa A. (Tuesday, 09 June 2020 23:01)

Hi, Paula,

I have questions about the cloud bears. What do they do? Where do they live? What do they look like? Are they white like clouds? Can they fly? How big are they? Are they as big as sky unicorns? I know there is no book about the cloud bears, but if you were to continue writing the Secret Rescuers, would you write about the cloud bears next? Who would be the main character?

Love from Elsa

Kavi (Tuesday, 09 June 2020 17:30)

Hey Paula,
Thank you for writing me! I would like to know how is your life in this period?
Be Safe....
Love from Kavi.........

Betsy (Monday, 08 June 2020 21:54)

Dear Paula,

I have a couple of questions for you:
1. Did Molly ever stop bothering Ella, Summer, Rosalind, and Lottie?
2. Did Molly know Emily, Clarabel, Lulu, Jaminta, and Freya?
3. How Grace had to put her Speaking Stone in the water to make it work? Everyone else did not have the same situation. Does this depend on the type of magical animal she is rescuing?
4. Does Kitty's younger brother Max have superpowers?
5. How did Kitty's family get superpowers?
6. How come Amina and Isabella didn't come to Lepari?
7. Did Amina, Isabella, and Maya ever attend the Royal Academy for Princesses? If they did, did they stay in Seahorse Tower?
8. What happened to Ally after The Magic Rings? Did she went back to becoming an agent?
9. Is there a Royal Academy for Princes? Is that where Prince Olaf and the other princes went?
10. Can Kitty speak to other animals, such as dogs, rabbits, and mice?

Betsy

Paula Harrison (Monday, 08 June 2020 11:46)

Hi Hope, thank you for writing to me. I'm glad you like the Secret Rescuers stories. There are 6 altogether and I'm not able to write any more of those at the moment. But if you like magic and adventure you might like either The Rescue Princesses, which is about a team of princesses who rescue animals, or Kitty, which is about a girl with cat-like powers who has adventures with her cat friends in the moonlight. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 08 June 2020 11:37)

Dear Kavi, Thanks for writing to me! Authors can't always decide how many books are in a series as it's the publisher who pays to make the books. So the publisher gets to decide! I have so many favourite books that it's hard to choose. Yes in The Stolen Crown the villain was very greedy, My favourite colour is red and I love popcorn! Best wishes, Paula

Hope (Saturday, 06 June 2020 16:51)

Dear Paula,

Hi my name is Hope, I'm 3 so my mummy is helping me write this message. My mummy reads your secret rescuers stories to me. I love magical animals and I really want a speaking stone. We have read every story. Please can you write a story about the cloud bears? Are you going to write more stories about magical animals?

Love from Hope

Kavi (Thursday, 04 June 2020 12:22)

Hey Paula,
I have some questions,
01. Why don't you write more books related to Tiara Friends Mystery series?
02. What is your favorite book?
03. In the book 1 (Tiara Friends Mystery - The Case of the Stolen Crown) why did the dancing teacher of the royal palace steal that crown? Is it because of money?
04. What is your favorite colour?
05. What is your favorite snack?

Love from Kavi �.... (Sri Lanka)

Kavi (Wednesday, 03 June 2020 07:14)

Hello Paula,
I have read the first book in Tiara Friends Mysteries "The Case of the Stolen Cown". I bought that because I saw that book in a website. It was super interesting book.... It is a very nice book. I LOVE it.....
Kavi

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 02 June 2020 17:04)

Hello Elodie, thanks for writing to me. I'm so pleased you love the Kitty books. I have a lot of fun writing them. I think you have some brilliant ideas there. It is a fantastic achievement to have written two books already and The Sea Llama is a great title! Keep up the excellent reading and writing! Best wishes, Paula

Elodie (Monday, 01 June 2020 12:36)

Hello Paula

I have read the first and second Kitty books. I first started reading them because I saw Kitty and the Moonlight Rescue on the book trust website and I was interested so my mum bought it for me. We have the next two books ready to read. I �Kitty.In the second book � I had an idea about how precious got Her hypnotist skills. I thought � she might have belonged to a hypnotist magician � and he taught her how to hypnotise the dog �. I think � that Kitty could be in the woods in a book �because so far she has only had adventures in the town. I was also wondering where kitty goes to school and what is her school � called?.
I think you are a really good writer because it is hard to predict what will happen next in the book. I want to be an author when I’m older and I have already written two books , my latest one is called “The Sea Llama” and it is about two llamas named Violet and Mark who try to find their parents in Peru.
Love from Elodie (Age 6 1/2), England

Paula Harrison (Saturday, 30 May 2020 05:16)

Thank you Kavi. That's really kind! Best wishes, Paula

Kavi (Thursday, 28 May 2020 17:47)

Wow! These are actually amazing and perfect books that Ihave ever read.... My favourite aothor I have ever seen......

Paula Harrison (Friday, 15 May 2020 17:05)

Hi Amanda, thank you for writing to me. I'm glad you like the Kitty books. Those are very good questions! Kitty's brother is called Max, and her mum and dad are called Amy and Mark. Kitty's favourite food is chocolate cake and her favourite colour is red. Yes, there will be lots more Kitty books - at least 10 once they are all published. I live in England so quite a long way from you! Happy reading! Paula Harrison x

Amanda Pérez (Wednesday, 13 May 2020 02:17)

Hi, I'm Amanda. I´m a big fan of your books. I love "Kitty and the tiger treasure". Right now, I´m finishing "Kitty and the moonlight rescue". I´m chilean and I have 7 years old. 

I have some questions for you:

What´s the name of Kitty´s brother?
What´s the name of Kitty's mother and father?
What is the favourite food of Kitty?
What is the favourite color of Kitty?
Will be more books about Kitty? Because in Chile there is only two books about Kitty that i've already have.
Where do you live?

Since I met Kitty I love her.
I hope you could answer my questions.

Thanks, bye!

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 07 May 2020 22:18)

Hi Becky, I really love these ideas, especially the moon deer and how they work with the star wolves! Your story about Colette is brilliant too. Perhaps Colette could rescue the moon deer? Those magical creatures might have come to graze in the meadows near the castle and perhaps that's when Sir Fitzroy sees them.
I like the idea of a Rescue Princess who is also a Secret Rescuer very much indeed! I hope you do have a go at story writing as you obviously have lots of good ideas. Best wishes, Paula x

Becky Ruby (Monday, 04 May 2020 22:03)

Hi, again, Paula. Thank you very much for writing me back. I think the golden eagles should bring sunlight to the people, animals, and plants of Arramia. I learned in my science classes that every living thing on Earth needs sunlight and sun energy.
I can tell you everything about the magical animals I just created. So this post could be very long. Lovebugs look like ladybugs, and they have the ability to bring love and friendship to people and humans everywhere in the kingdom. Flying monkeys make the wind and breezes and live in the mountains. Moon deers bring moonlight to Earth and takes good care of the moon. They even work together with star wolves at night, so the moon and the stars can appear at nightfall. Snow swans can make ice, snow, and frost and live in the coldest places in Arramia. Night kittens take care of nighttime, rainbow Pegasus ponies bring color to the world, blossom bunnies take care of flower, fruits, and vegetables, musical birds sing to cure sickness and injuries, and forest squirrels make sure no one hurts the forests and their creatures. Did you know without any blossom bunnies, there won't be any food for the people in the kingdom. Forest squirrels can also fly and magically grow forest trees.
I can also tell you more about the story I created about Queen Viola's niece. Her name is Colette. Unlike most of the royal family, she is kind to magical creatures and loves listening and reading stories about magical animals. Her spoiled older cousin Molly does not like the magical creatures and would love to boss her cousin around. Queen Viola picks Molly to be her favorite niece and is unkind to Colette. While visiting her aunt and cousin one day, she meets Sophy and discovers Windrunner and some of the other secret rescuers. At first, Emma, Maya, and the others don't trust Colette because she is a relative of the queen. But they soon know she loves animals is kind to Windrunner, Marella, and the others. Colette discovers that Sir Fitzroy is planning to harm some magical creatures ( but I haven't decided which creature Princess Colette should rescue). With the help of the other Secret Rescuers, Colette secretly stops her aunt, gets her Speaking Stone with white crystals, saves the animals, and stands up to Molly. Molly discovers about the secrets rescuers and plans to tell her aunt and get her cousin in trouble again, but the magical creatures that Colette rescues casts a spell on Molly. Molly loses her memories of the Secret Rescuers and returns to her kingdom, which stops the queen and her knight from finding out about it. In the end, Colette decides to stay at Greytowers Castle and help Sophy with the rescues. She tells Sophy that is she is too busy with her chores she can ride Windrunner and help with the rescues.
Sorry if this is very long. I feel like with this story there is a Rescue Princess who is a Secret Rescuer. Colette and Sophy's friendship would be like the Tiara Friends, Jess and Millie. What do you think of this story? Please write back if you have any comments.

Becky Ruby

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 03 May 2020 11:36)

Hi Becky, I'm glad you're enjoying The Secret Rescuers! I'm not sure I ever decided for certain what the giant eagles should do. I wrote these books a few years ago you see. What do you think they should do? You sound like you have lots of good ideas. I love your book idea with Queen Viola's niece and the magical creatures you've invented are amazing! Do tell me more about it all if you'd like to. Best wishes, Paula xx

Becky Ruby (Saturday, 02 May 2020 04:12)

Hi, Paula,

My name is Becky. I really love the Secret Rescuers. But I wonder. What exactly do the giant eagles with golden feathers do? How can they help people? Are there any other magical creatures that have not been mentioned yet?
I just come up with a magical story about the Secret Rescuers. I pretend that Queen Viola has a niece who meets and becomes friends with Sophy. This niece loves magical creatures while her aunt and cousin, who is Queen Viola's other niece does not. She has her own Speaking Stone and rescues one of the magical animals in Arramia. What do you think of this story? I like to think that at least one member of the Arramia royal family likes magical creatures.
I also came with my own magical creatures. They are magical lovebugs, flying monkeys (like the Wizard of Oz), moon dears, snow swans, night kittens, rainbow pegasus, blossom bunnies, musical birds, and forest squirrels. What do you think. Sorry, but I think this letter is already long enough, so I won't explain what each of these creatures can do. But I can write to you back to tell you about them.

Best Wishes,
Becky Ruby XXX

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 28 April 2020 21:01)

Hi Rose, I'm so glad you like The Secret Rescuers and Tiara Friends. That's a good question! I think Natasha was a bit jealous of Poppy actually, because she's enjoying selling her candles so much. Yes you're right about Sir Fitzroy. Yes I love writing mysteries. They're so much fun and if I met someone who looked just like me I would DEFINITELY swap places to see whether anyone noticed! Best wishes, Paula x

Rose (Tuesday, 28 April 2020 03:12)

Dear Ms. Harrison,

Hi, my name is Rose, and I love the Secret Rescuers and the Tiara Friends. I have some questions for you. In the Magic Fox, why was Natasha so rude to Poppy in the beginning? Was it because she didn't like her job at the shoe store that she became angry? I think the reason Sir Fitzroy hates magical creatures is because he's afraid of magic. All the villains in the series are. What do you think? Which secret rescuer do you like? I like Maya because she likes the sky unicorns. Do you like writing mysteries like the Tiara Friends? If you met someone who looks like you, would you switch places with them just like Millie and Jess?

Sincerely,
Rose

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 26 April 2020 12:11)

Hi Lucille (aka Lulu!), I think those are great story making decisions! You're obviously very good at this. Lambs are so adorable, aren't they? Maybe the animals in Samantha's kingdom are similar to the ones around where you live. Have you thought of making a Rescue Princesses story or comic strip yourself, or drawing a picture? It's just an idea - so only if you want to. Best wishes, Paula xx

Lucille, aka Lulu (Saturday, 25 April 2020 20:52)

Hi, Paula Harrison,

It's Lucille again. Thank you for telling me all that. I really think Samantha should rescue a lamb. What kinds of animals live in Samantha's kingdom? I also think she should rescue of those animals. I can also decide she did later meet Scarlett, Lily, and Zina, and probably all the others. Maybe she joined after The Amber Necklace. I think she is around Scarlett, Lily, and Zina's age. What do you think?

Lulu

Abi Lynch (Saturday, 25 April 2020 09:01)

Thank you!

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 23 April 2020 12:00)

Hi Abi, thanks for your message. Yes there is a book 3. What happened is that the original covers and book titles didn't go down well with book sellers so the books were re-published under new covers and names. It happens sometimes. So Crystal Mirror became Red Moon Rising. Wildwood Arrow became Dark Tree Shining, Book 3 which never made it to publication under the old titles, is called Pale Peak Burning. That's the final book in the trilogy. I hope Luci enjoys it. Best wishes to you both, Paula x

Abi Lynch (Thursday, 23 April 2020 09:08)

Hi. I'm writing on behalf of my 8 year old daughter, Luci (whose favourite animal is also elephants, by the way.) We read Crystal Mirror and are reading Wildwood Arrow but we can't find book three available anywhere. Do you have any suggestions please? Is that the last book in the series? Thank you. I hope you're keeping well in this stillness. Abi

Paula Harrison (Saturday, 18 April 2020 11:49)

Hi Lucille, I don't really match the imaginary countries in the Rescue Princesses to exact real ones like that. I think some things are up to readers to decide! Yes Samantha became a Rescue Princess 2 years later. I never decided which animal she rescued as my publisher asked me to move on to a new series rather than writing that book. Which animal do you think she should rescue? Best wishes, Paula xx

Lucille, aka Lulu (Tuesday, 14 April 2020 23:27)

Dear Paula Harrison,

Hi, it's Lulu again. Thank you for writing back. Where in Europe would you say Dalvia is located in? Would it be France, Germany, or England? You are saying Samantha later did become a Rescue Princess? When did she become one? Did she later meet Lily, Zina, and Scarlett? What animal did she first rescue?

Lucille xxx

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 14 April 2020 14:36)

Hi Margaret, I'm pleased you like the Princess of Pets! Yes there''s a book called The Cuddly Seal coming out in August. It has an adorable fluffy seal on the cover! In the story, Bea and Keira find an abandoned seal pup in a secret cove and with a storm coming, they know they have to help the creature. I had a lot of fun writing this book because I love beaches and the sea so much! Best wishes, Paula xx

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 14 April 2020 14:31)

Hi Lucille, sorry it's taken me 6 whole days to write to you! I have been busy having an Easter break at home with my family. Thank you for writing to me. I think you have some very good questions. You're quite right, Samantha is a perfect for being a Rescue Princess but she was a few years younger than the others and that's why she didn't become one until later.
The kingdoms in the Rescue Princesses series are meant to be imaginary but you're right they do match countries in our world quite closely. I'd say Rosalind's kingdom is in Europe while Ella comes from an island off the coast of America. I hope that helps! Best wishes, Paula xx

Margaret (Tuesday, 14 April 2020 02:47)

Dear Paula Harrison,

I really enjoy Princess of Pets. I heard there is a new book. It's about a seal. What is the new book called? When is it coming out? Can you tell me something about it?

Margaret

Lucille, aka Lulu (Wednesday, 08 April 2020 05:27)

Dear Ms. Paula Harrison,

I really like The Shimmering Stone. But I have a question. I have read all the other books after The Shimmering Stone, and every time Lottie and Rosalind meet a new princess who loves animals, including Maya, Summer, and Ella, they welcome them as new Rescue Princesses. Why didn't Princess Samantha become a Rescue Princess when she helped them with Sizzle and Lemon Drop? She was very nice to the four princesses when her older brother Henry wasn't, so she is perfect to be a Rescue Princess. Rescue Princesses are supposed to kind and brave, She even said her home has lots of animals, so I know she loves animals just like all the Rescue Princesses in the books.
I'm also wondering about something else. I know Summer and Lily are from kingdoms in Australia, Jaminta and Maya come from kingdoms in Asia, Clarabel and Freya live in kingdoms close to the North Pole, Emily and her younger sister Lottie are from kingdoms in England , Zina and Amina live in kingdoms in India, Lulu comes from a kingdom in Africa, and Isabella live in a kingdom from South America. I know Scarlett's kingdom is in North America, but where are Ella and Rosalind's kingdoms located in? What country or continent would they be living in?

Lucille xxx

Paula Harrison (Monday, 06 April 2020 22:38)

Hi Ruby, it's so lovely to hear from you! The cloud bears can breathe out mist. They're very gentle creatures. My favourite flowers are foxgloves and my favourite food is popcorn! But I also like a lot of other foods too like bananas (just like you!) and also chocolate. I really can't decide which of my books I like best, but I am having a lot of fun writing the Kitty books as it's great fun to have a heroine who has superpowers! Best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 06 April 2020 22:33)

Hi Daisy,
Thanks for sending me another message. I can't choose between the animals in the Rescue Princesses - I love them all! If I could fly on a magical animal I would definitely choose a storm dragon. I would go to the Whispering Wood as it's such a magical place.
My favourite colour is red and I like eating popcorn. By the way, we spell "favourite" and "colour" differently in England so the spelling might look funny to you! We also call flashlights - torches. And we walk on pavements rather than sidewalks!! Best wishes, Paula x

Ruby Parkington (Monday, 06 April 2020 21:59)

Dear Paula Harrison,

Hi, it's Ruby again. I'm sorry that I did not write back. Thank you for telling me about the cloud bears. What magical ability can they do? My favorite ice cream flavor is cookies' n' cream, but I love strawberry, too! I heard you like elephants and cats, and my favorite animals are chipmunks and rabbits. What is your favorite flower? I love roses. What foods do you like to eat? I love strawberries and bananas. What is your most favorite book you have written so far?

Sincerely,
Ruby

Daisy Santini (Saturday, 04 April 2020 08:34)

Hi, Mrs. Harrison,

Thank you for the reply. Since you like elephants, maybe in the future you should write about a Rescue Princess who rescues an elephant.
I have some more questions. Which of the Rescue Princess animals that have been rescued do you like? I love Daisy the bunny, Minky the kitten, Lucky the panda, Cupcake the koala, Fudge the joey, and Sparky the baby otter.
If you were a Secret Rescuer, which magical animal would you fly to take you to other places? I think I would fly a sky unicorn. Where in the Kingdom of Arramia would you visit? I would choose Penlee, because I would love to buy one of Poppy's colorful candles and Mr. Lott's cakes. I would also visit the Whispering Woods, because of the forest animals and star wolves. I would not want visit Greytowers Castle, because I don't want to bump into Sir Fitzroy and Queen Viola. But I would love to see Sophy and the all the other Secret Rescuers, including Lucas and Natasha.
What colors do you like? I love aqua, pink, red, and purple. What do you like to eat? I like to eat pasta and salad.

Hi Daisy! Thanks for sending me a message! I'm glad you like Robyn Silver. There are just the two books in that series. I think I would have a diamond for my jewel - they are so shiny! My favourite animals are elephants as they're so intelligent. I also love cats!
In Secret Rescuers, the eagles live in the highest mountains and the dolphins live in the most southern seas. I think I would have a blue Speaking Stone just like you! How about making up your own story about an animal or drawing a picture? Have fun! Best wishes, Paula xxx

Dasiy Santini (Friday, 03 April 2020 06:42)

Hi, Mrs. Harrison,

I really love Robyn Silver. Will there be anymore books about Robyn Silver in the future?
If I could be a Rescue Princess, I would have an amethyst for a magical jewel. What about you?
I love bunnies, since I was born in the Year of the Rabbit, which is on the Chinese zodiac. I also love snow leopards, seahorses, koalas, pandas, black cats, monkeys, toucans, hippos, and lambs. What animals do you like?
I just read the Sky Unicorn, and I heard there are giant eagles with golden wings and silver dolphins. Where do these eagles and dolphins live? I am very curious. If I could have a Speaking Stone, I would have mine in ocean blue crystals, like Grace's. What color crystals would you want for your Speaking Stone?
What would you prefer? Princesses, fairies, or mermaids? I like all three of them.

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 08 March 2020 12:09)

Hi Ruby! I'm so pleased you like The Rescue Princesses and The Secret Rescuers. I find it very hard to choose a favourite princess but my favourite magical animal is the sea pony and I would really like one as a best friend! By the way, I'm spelling favourite differently from you because it has a different spelling here in England!
Cloud Bears live up high in the mountains. They love it up there and they don't mind the cold at all. My favourite ice cream flavour is strawberry. Yes, I am now writing the Kitty books all about a girl with cat-like superpowers. Happy reading! Paula x

Ruby Parkington (Saturday, 07 March 2020 22:37)

Dear Mrs. Paula Harrison,

I really enjoyed the Rescue Princesses. My favorite Rescue Princesses are Summer, Jaminta, Lily, and Ella. I do not like Princess Molly from the Golden Shell. She was very mean to Ella, Summer, Rosalind, and Lottie. I'm glad she got angry in the end. I also dislike Lady Hamilton, who doesn't like kangaroos. I think kangaroos are adorable as puppies. Who are your favorite Rescue Princesses?
I also love The Secret Rescuers. My favorite books were the The Sky Unicorn and The Star Wolf. Star wolves and sky unicorns are very interesting. I know there is no book called The Cloud Bear, but I like cloud bears, too? What is your favorite magical animal? Where do cloud bears live? Why does Sir Fitzroy hate magical creatures so much?
Princess of Pets are also wonderful. I feel we only focus on only one Rescue Princess, and it is Princess Bea. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Do you like fairy tales? Are you writing more books in the future?

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 16 February 2020 15:57)

Hello BR, Yes there are 3 more Rescue Princesses books after Golden Shell making a total of 15. There are 6 Secret Rescuers books altogether, but my publisher asked me to change the Silver Dolphin idea into The Sea Pony. So the Silver Dolphin book doesn't exist! Yes Maya did go to the Royal Academy and loves it there. Hope that helps! Paula xx
PS if you look on this website you can see all the books in each series in the right order.

BR (Saturday, 15 February 2020 22:08)

Dear Paula,

Hi, I want to find out what happened to Molly from the Golden Shell at the end. I read an excerpt on Google Books, but I couldn't find in a store near me. So I would like to find that out. Will there be any future Rescue Princesses or Secret Rescuers books? Where is Maya? Did she later attended the Royal Academy for Princesses, along with Amina and Isabella? I noticed that there is a Secret Rescuers book called the Silver Dolphin. Where can I find that book? Who is the main character of that book? Will Sophy, Maya, Talia, Lucas, Emma, Poppy, and Grace appear?

Hello!

I love your lions!

I’m currently revamping our school library and am trying to collect letters from authors and illustrators for the wall - I have a vision and it’s going to look amazing! I would be very grateful if you would send us a letter pretty please to the children of Leighfield Primary.
Thank you with my fingers crossed! I’m trying to create a room full of inspiration!

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 14 May 2019 22:44)

Hi Chloe! Thanks for writing to me here. I'm so pleased you love my stories. You definitely sound like a super fan!! I am writing more books right now. I have a new series called KITTY all about a girl with cat-like superpowers coming out in September and a series called ROYAL RESCUES coming out next year all about a girl called Bea who wants a pet!
My favourite flowers are foxgloves. I'm not even sure if they have those in the States, but they're very pretty. My favourite character is hard to decide... I think I'd pick Sophy from the Secret Rescuers because I think she was very brave to ride on a dragon! I hope you have fun reading The Amber Necklace. Best wishes, Paula

Chloe Simon (Sunday, 12 May 2019 02:38)

Dear Ms. Harrison,

My name is Chloe Simon and I live in Miami, Florida. I am 7 years old. I really wanted to let you know that I am a super fan! I read a lot of your books. I've read all of the Secret Rescuers and most of the Rescue Princesses. I like how the books are full of adventure and curiosity. My favorite book is The Secret Rescuers The Sky Unicorn. I would like if you kept up the hard work and write more books! I have so many questions. What is your favorite flower? What is your favorite character in your books? What is your favorite book? I just got the Rescue Princesses The Amber Necklaces. I had to order it all the way from the UK. I also just ordered the Princess of Pets new book.

Thank you!

Chloe

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 17 January 2019 18:44)

Dear Bob, I've just contacted you via your website to agree to this. Unfortunately Puppy Eyes is the only short story I have written so there isn't anything else I can donate but I hope lots of people enjoy this story! best wishes, Paula

Robert Topp, Read Me a Story, Ink (Monday, 14 January 2019 20:38)

Dear Ms Harrison,
For the past twenty-five years my hobby has been reading aloud in the public schools. To that end I have collected and read thousands of short stories appropriate for grades 3-6 (ages 8-12 years). I also maintain a website as a resource for parents and teachers which indexes over 1500 of my favorite recommendations for reading aloud. The site also includes over 122 (and growing) printable stories and nearly 40 audio stories that are pulled from the public domain or appear with the authors’ permission. I am writing today seeking permission to reprint your delightful story, “Puppy Eyes” which appears in GIRLS HEART CHRISTMAS. If you would like to see the listing for your story, go to https://readmeastoryink.com/ , click on “search index” and enter your name in the author field.
In fairness, I must tell you that I cannot afford to pay since my site is not a commercial one, but I would be honored to make your story available to my audience.
One of your colleagues, Joan Lennon, has long been one of my favorite authors to read aloud and she has kindly allowed me to offer a number of her stories including her story from GIRLS HEART CHRISTMAS, “Out of the Shadows.”
I would also love to know if you have written other short stories for my target age and, if so, where they have appeared.

Best regards,
Bob Topp

Hi Georgiana-Laura!
Wow - thanks for writing such a detailed review for Robyn Silver: The Midnight Chimes. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book and appreciated the suspense and mystery that I tried to put into the story. It means such a lot to me when a reader is pleased with a story so thanks again from the bottom of my heart! If you get around to reading book 2 I hope you enjoy that as well. Paula xxx

Georgiana-Laura Gheorghe (Friday, 09 November 2018 11:33)

Hi!
My name is Georgiana-Laura Gheorghe and I'm from Romania. My nicknames are Carla (on Twitter) and Wishwell Clara (on Facebook). I just wanted you to know that I've read Robyn Silver: The Midnight Chimes and I like it. The story itself made me want to be a child again. Below I'll post a review for the book which I've mentioned earlier.

Review for “Robyn Silver: The Midnight Chimes” by Paula Harrison:

It’s the first book from the Robyn Silver series and it’s written by one of the most appreciated British authors in children’s literature, Paula Harrison. The story follows eleven-year-old Robyn Silver whose wish for more excitement in her life comes true when she begins to see strange creatures which only she can see. Due to some events, her school is forced to move to the mysterious Grimdean House in which she meets Mr. Cryptorum, the strange and mysterious owner. Later on, she will discover that there is more to the story than meets the eye. She will also understand the meaning of the saying “Be careful what you wish for.”
Mrs. Harrison displays a remarkable talent in storytelling and manages to capture the readers’ attention through her unique writing style which is also straightforward even for older readers. The author introduces us into a world full of mystery, suspense, adventure and excitement in which the readers will find themselves into the characters’ shoes and “live” the tale. Friendship, bravery, loyalty, the importance of making decisions, growing up and much more can be found in every page one reads.
Robyn Silver is the character with whom every little girl identifies herself with. Adventurous, full of spunk, stubborn, curious, relies on her instinct and prefers to do things instead of learning about them first. Mr. Cryptorum represents the wise elder, who not only knows more about the unseen things and world which are invisible to mortals, but he’ll become Robyn and her friends’ mentor much to his chagrin. Later on, he’ll learn to accept the youths’ help. Like Robyn, he’s also stubborn. He proves to be more experienced, mature and stern.
Through her story, Mrs. Harrison brought folklore and mythology to life. The story is like a reminder of childhood and it has a pinch of horror too. Along with C. S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia), J. R. R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings series), J. K. Rowling (the Harry Potter series), Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black (The Spiderwick Chronicles), Mrs. Harrison revolutionized literature through the world that she created.
I recommend this book to readers 12+ because there are some scenes which are scary for younger readers.

I'm looking forward to reading the second book from the Robyn Silver series. Thank you for the exciting experience!

Best regards,
Georgiana-Laura Gheorghe

Hi Paula, Thank you for the Rescue Princesses. My favourite one is Emily. Thank you for signing my book at Bath Children's Literature Festival. I hope to meet you again soon

Ava C. (Monday, 30 July 2018 17:12)

Thank you very much! I sent you them. It is so amazing to actually be talking to the author of my favorite book series!!!!!!!!

-Ava C. :)

Ava C. (Wednesday, 25 July 2018 19:03)

Oh, also I forgot to add that I will be in San Diego tomorrow, but I think I will be able to connect if you can contact me quickly. I don't really know how this works, but if it's quick, I will either see your reply after I come back from San Diego if you can reply that fast, or after I get back if the internet doesn't work.
Bye,
Ava :)

Ava C. (Wednesday, 25 July 2018 18:58)

Dear Paula Harrison,

Hi! My name is Ava and I live in San Francisco. I am twelve years old and I love your books! Especially the Rescue Princesses. I play with them with my sister all the time and I'm even making a movie out of The Secret Promise. My favorite Rescue Princess is Clarabel. I always want to be like her, and whenever someone asks me something I think, "What would Clarabel do?" Also I like Amina and Maya, and Zina is pretty nice.
I loved the Rescue Princesses so much I wrote five more books ending after Zina's where me, my sister, my mom, and my dad as a princess find a secret passageway and the magic rings the Rescue Princesses used. Also, I've been in contact with Sharon Tancredi and she drew me two lovely covers for my sister's book and my book! I would love to send you the five documents, they're all around 49 pages. I just can't attach the files to this message, I think I need an email address to do it. So if you have one I could use to send them to you if you'd like to see them for ideas or whatever, could you please tell me?

Your biggest fan,
Ava C.
P.S. I was really excited when I saw that Princess Lily's book preview had come out! I got the Enchanted Ruby book and loved it. By the way, the books I wrote are called this in order: The Amethyst Bracelet, The Red Ruby, The Pink Crystal, The Healing Gem, and The Lucky Stone.

Paula Harrison (Monday, 19 February 2018 12:27)

Hi Louise Houghton, I haven't published your message here as your phone no. is on it but I've sent you an email with some questions. If that doesn't come through do let me know. Best wishes, Paula

Paula Harrison (Monday, 29 January 2018 21:10)

Hi Madeleine, thanks for sending me a message! I'm so pleased you love the Secret Rescuers books. I had great fun writing them! I'm very excited to hear that you were Little Paw on World Book Day - I love to hear about people dressing up as my characters. I bet it took quite a lot of hard work to get the costume right!
I would love to come to Belfast to do a signing but I'm just not sure when that would happen as I'm so busy writing at the moment. I've never been to Northern Ireland and I would really like to come one day. Sorry I can't promise to do it soon!
The Sea Pony was the last Secret Rescuers book but there are some new Rescue Princesses books out this year starting with The Enchanted Ruby and that story has a river otter in it. Happy reading! Best wishes, Paula

madeleine (Sunday, 28 January 2018 20:06)

Hi I'm your biggest fan. I love your Secret Rescuers books. They're my favourite series of books. My favourite one is the Magic Fox. I dressed up as Little Paw for World Book Day and I was wondering if you could come to Belfast to do a signing. Also do you have any new Secret Rescuers books coming out?

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 17 January 2018 10:27)

Thank you Jesse, that's really kind of you! Best wishes, Paula

Merry Christmas and happy holidays,Paula Harrison!
From a joyful daughter,

Paula Harrison (Saturday, 23 December 2017 19:59)

Hi Layla, that's so nice of you to say you like the Secret Rescuers! There are 6 of the books so I hope you find them in your library or book shop. I don't do any of the drawing in the books - that is done by Sophy Williams the illustrator. She's brilliant at drawing. The part I do is write the story. I hope you have a lovely Christmas. Best wishes, Paula

Layla (Saturday, 23 December 2017 00:39)

Dear Ms Harrison,

My name is Layla. I'm a fun, hard working child at Htoham School and I am 6 years old. I am writing to say The Secret Rescuers is my very, very, very most favourite book I am reading because it has lots and lots of interesting and different words in it. I'm very impressed with your.

It's my favourite book because she is very, very kind and surprising in her life. How do you make them? Please make more because they are really, really good!

It is fun to make The Rescuers books? How do you make your interesting books? Do you use a sharp pencil? Di you practice making drawing to get better?

Kind regards,

Layla
Y2 Pupil

Paula Harrison (Monday, 11 December 2017 14:49)

Hi Katherine, thanks for your questions. The Red Moon Rising series was originally supposed to be more than 3 books, so when I found out from my publisher that we were stopping at 3 books I tried to complete Laney's story as much as I could but having her find all the Myricals in the 3rd book really wouldn't have worked. I decided that if I ever got a chance to come back to the series I would focus on the Greytail Myrical next and write it from Claudia's point of view. I wanted to have lots of shape shifting in the 4th book and also feature the Kestrels who haven't appeared as yet.
I really like all the tribes - I find it hard to pick a favourite - but to me Laney always was closest to her mother's side of the family. (avoiding spoilers for other people!) Hope that answers your questions. Best wishes, Paula

Katherine Liu (Monday, 11 December 2017 06:26)

Dear Paula,
I just finished the Red Moon rising series and I was wondering why Laney Rivers didn't collect all the magical items. Also, what's your favourite faerie tribe and why did you put Laney in the Blaze tribe when the Mist tribe is more girlish? (From what your said about liking going to the beach I thought you like the Mist tribe more)

Paula Harrison (Monday, 27 November 2017 13:28)

Hi FluffyWalrus, (what a great name by the way!) I'm great, thank you. I've just been away for the weekend and seen friends at a party - great fun! Ooh I don't want to disappoint you, but only the first one of the new Rescue Princesses books is out in May. The second will be out in August and the third in early 2019. Anyway, I'm very pleased you're looking forward to reading them! Best wishes, Paula

FluffyWalrus (Friday, 24 November 2017 21:30)

Hi Paula!
I'm a MASSIVE fan of your books! I've gone off them a bit but I still have every single one. I recently started wondering where you are now, if you're OK and still writing these books. I found this website and could hardly believe it when I found out that not one, not two, but THREE books are coming out next May! I hope it's near my birthday... Now THAT would be a present I would never forget! From now on I'll re-read all of your Rescue Princess books, even though I'm slightly older than what I think you targeted them at! I'm currently working on my own story that another author is giving me feedback for and helping me along! Anyway, I'm curious about you. How are you?
Yours Truly,
FluffyWalrus

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 23 November 2017 10:40)

Hi Stephania,
I'm so sorry to hear about your accident! It must have been pretty scary. I am thinking of you all and hoping you all feel much better soon! Paula x

Stephania (Wednesday, 22 November 2017 20:40)

Dear Paula,
Okay,but you won’t believe what happened yesterday.I was going home until we stopped and behind us,another car crashed behind us!We had a huge problem in our car.Ivan got neck pain,Madeline got a headache,leg pain,and stomachache,Sophia got arm and leg pain,and I got facial contusion.Other than us,the rest in the car were okay.We were all afraid�!Luckily,we all had a few cocenquences but we are okay(Even though I still have the bump which my family is now making fun of me now��).Wait till my Thanksgiving break ends.We will just hope for the best,see you soon.
From the weird one in my family,
Stephania

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 21 November 2017 12:12)

Hi Stephania, it's lovely to hear from you! I do also write older books like the ones you describe and if you look on the Robyn Silver and Red Moon Rising pages of this website you'll find them! Best wishes, Paula

Stephania (Monday, 20 November 2017 03:28)

Dear Paula,
Even though I am more into historical fiction books now because I am ten like I Survived,Ranger in Time,and The Magic Tree House,I still like your books.Maybe you should make a historical fiction series and see the author of these books to get a better idea.I will tell you the names of the authors.

I Survived(Lauren Tarshis)☺Ranger in Time(Kate Messner)�Magic Tree House(Mary Pope Osborne)

I hope you are happy to talk with me again and I think you can get the adresses by going to their websites.Bye!

Now in fifth grade,
Stephania

Paula Harrison (Monday, 13 November 2017 11:46)

Hi Lori, there has been a break since I wrote book 12 (The Golden Shell) because I've been working on two other series Tiara Friends and The Secret Rescuers. But I've now written 3 more books in the Rescue Princesses series and if you're in the UK you'll be able to buy it from next May - it's called The Enchanted Ruby. I don't have any overseas publication dates yet, but if you're in the US or Australia or elsewhere you still should be able to purchase the new book online. Bear in mind it'll have English spelling etc. 'mum' rather than 'mom' and 'torch' not 'flashlight'. Hope that helps! Paula x

Lori Towell (Monday, 13 November 2017 04:50)

Hi, I couldn't find a way to email you, so I thought I'd try this. My daughter is a huge fan of your Rescue Princess books. She has read them all and asks me monthly if you have written any more. Did you stop writing them? Or will there be more in the series? Thanks so much for your work!

Lori Towell

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 10 October 2017 09:50)

Hi Rebecca, I'm so pleased you like the Secret Rescuers! Well, I think you are right about the old king. He certainly liked magical animals a lot more than his wife the queen did. Sometimes I like to leave a few things unsaid in the story - like this question of where the king got the stones from - and then the reader has a chance to decide for themselves. Hope that makes sense! Happy reading, Paula

Rebecca W (Thursday, 05 October 2017 03:38)

Dear Paula, I'm Rebecca and I live in Canada. I love your books! I chose your book "Secret Rescuers - The Lightning Dragon" for a school assignment. Can I ask you a question? In the book, where did the old king get the magic stones? I think he used to be a secret rescuer too. Your friend, Rebecca.

Paula Harrison (Monday, 25 September 2017 14:42)

Hi Margaret, yes I'd love to visit. I'll ring the school and leave you my details. best wishes, Paula

Margaret McCulloch-Keeble (Monday, 25 September 2017 13:11)

Hi Paula
I'm hoping to organize an author visit to the school to tie in with World Book Day next year. (I work in the school library.) I wonder do you have any dates free in March at all? We are a junior academy for children 7-11 in Milton Keynes. (I could be wrong, but I think you're based not too far away?)
I look forward to hearing from you, Margaret

Paula Harrison (Friday, 18 August 2017 12:32)

Hi Elise, thank you for your message! I'm so pleased you like the Secret Rescuers books. There isn't a Cloud Bear book - the latest book is the The Sea Pony. I secretly think magical animals must be real too, especially unicorns! Best wishes, Paula

Elise Derman (Thursday, 17 August 2017 07:29)

Dear Paula,
Your boooks are very nice - I am 5.5 years old and read all the secret rescuers books. Is there a book called the Cloud Bear?
I live in Hong Kong, I always love waiting for your new books. I love magical animals and even believe they are real! Bye, Elise

Paula Harrison (Tuesday, 01 August 2017 16:31)

Hi Stephania, Happy Birthday! My birthday is in July too - it's a great month! I hope you had an awesome time. Best wishes, Paula

Stephania (Thursday, 20 July 2017 08:16)

Hey Paula,it's so cool talking to you again and I just saw the news part of this website and saw the brand new cover for your next book.If I had a chance to meet you and have the next two books,it would be INNNNCCCCCRRRREEEDDDDIBLLLLE. It is a great time so far and my brother had a good party,he is five,and his face is healing.Like Sophia's birthday there is an ice cream cake and a candle but with more upgrades.There was a fruit salad,we had more people and candles than the one before,and the the cake was tastier than the other one.I hope I can retrieve your two other books.Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love from your own traveler,
Stephania

Paula Harrison (Monday, 10 July 2017 10:27)

Hi Stephania! I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I hope he's better soon. I guess dogs are quite protective when they've just had puppies. I bet the puppies are lovely! Enjoy your trip! Best wishes, Paula

Stephania (Monday, 10 July 2017 00:38)

Paula,I just want to say is that I had a trip in a trip because I am not sure when but I went to my dad's parents house and today I am leaving back to my mom's parents house.We are packing right now to leave and I have already packed my bag.I had a really great time here and I am enjoying my summer.But things always have bad stuff like today a grandma dog from the top had puppies but when we putted them back my baby brother went in to check them out again but the dog scratched him.I feel bad for him and his face doesn't look very good.Hope you make more books of The Rescue Princesses very soon.
Your emotional feeler,
Stephania

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 05 July 2017 16:43)

Hi Stephania, I love your ideas for how you'd look in a Rescue Princesses book. I once had a spotted dress and I loved it! I hope you're enjoying the summer. Best wishes, Paula

Stephania (Wednesday, 28 June 2017 15:59)

Paula,even though the charity for the chance to name a princess or a villain in your rescue princesses books is over I really want to be in your rescue princesses books as a princess.She has a small spotted dress up to her knees,it has long blond hair in a pony tail(the type of hair style one),smiling a normal smile,and has a round crown with circles and jewels.Her name is Pru.I want to be in your second book.I miss the old times.Byyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeee.
From your imagine talker,
Stephania

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 28 June 2017 10:25)

Hi Stephania, I'd like to wish your sister a Happy Birthday! Candles that play a Happy Birthday song sound really awesome. I hope you all had a great time! Best wishes, Paula

Stephania (Wednesday, 28 June 2017 05:49)

Paula,today is my sister's(older one)birthday.She is eleven years old today.I am also going to tell you when it is my little brother's birthday(July 19).I love the part when one of my aunts lit the candle.It burned all of the candles in it then it went BOOM!The candles sprung open and played Happy Birthday for all really long time but then wore of.The cake was delicious because it was a ice cream cake.I just want to know why you didn't answer my last comment.You always answer my comments.Hope you answer my both email comments soon.

Your author lover,
Stephania

Stephania (Wednesday, 21 June 2017 15:50)

Paula,it's really nice to talk to you and maybe you can give the books on or nearby my birthday(July 28).It would be a pleasure to have a Rescue Princesses book as a birthday present.I am excited because I am going to a trip until my birthday.Even if it means I can't talk to you for a really long time I am going to have tons of fun.It has one of my favorite chocolates,Manicho.Are you allergic to peanuts?That chocolate has peanuts.I am EXCITEEEEEEEEED(I know I said that again).Hope you have trips any time soon.If you are planning any trips on late June or early July have a great trip and come home safely to continue writing your books.I am going to Equador for my trip.Text me soon.I am going to be gone for about a month.Bye.

Your website visitor more than anyone else,
Stephania

Paula Harrison (Monday, 19 June 2017 11:57)

Hi Crystal, I'm so pleased your daughters are enjoying the book! It's really kind of you to write and say so - hearing about happy readers is what keeps me going really. I hope they enjoy some of the other stories too. Best wishes, Paula x

Paula Harrison (Monday, 19 June 2017 11:53)

Hi Stephania, it's very nice to chat with you! The next Rescue Princess book, The Enchanted Ruby, is set in a western kingdom and there's an adorable river otter in the story. I think you might like it! Best wishes, Paula x

Ms.Harrison, I just started reading #3 of your Rescue Princesses books to my daughters (5 & 2) and I am loving it. They hang on every word which for little ones is usually unheard of. Since they are so little I stick to a chapter a night and I love that they are just long enough to hold their attention but not so long to make them bored. You are an amazing writer and I can't wait to buy the other 11 books plus am keeping my fingers crossed that the other three books you are writing come to America soon. If not then I will be asking my cousin who is currently in England to keep an eye out for them for me.

Can you make one of your Rescue Princesses books talking about a western kingdom?It might sound weird but it is almost like making The Moonlight Mystery.I hope my chats aren't bothering you for your plans to write your next books.You are one of the best authors I have ever read the books of.Keep up the Awsssssssoooooommmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee aaaannnnnndddddddd Ammmmmmmmaaaaaaaaazzzzzzziiiiiiinnnnngggggg Worrrrrrkkkkkkkk

Hi Stephania, well there are 12 Rescue Princesses books already published starting with The Secret Promise and ending with The Golden Shell. I've now written 3 more and 2 of those are coming out next year here in the UK but I don't have a date for them coming out in America yet. The next one is called The Enchanted Ruby! Even if they're not out in America you can often get hold of them easily by buying online.
I don't know New Jersey very well because I live in England! I did come to Florida with my family last year though and we had an amazing time. We even swam with manatees!
I would love to come over to the States and do a proper book tour but I'll have to see how things go. Best wishes, Paula x

Stephania (Thursday, 15 June 2017 15:18)

Hi Paula, it is me again.I agree with you, I think Sharon does do a great job.Can you write to me when your next issue of The Rescue Princesses is ready?Pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee!!!!!!!.Even though I am a big fan I don't have plenty Rescue Princesses books.Can you also tell me where in the WORLD to get more Rescue Princesses books nearby or in West New York,New Jersey(The town and state where I live).Maybe we can be texting friends until I have a chance to meet you and become real friends.Will you come and give you fans your copied issues and sign your name on them like other authors do when they have new books or issues when your next book of The Rescue Princesses book is ready?
Your most advidist reader ever,
Stephania

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 15 June 2017 10:43)

Hi Stephania, thanks for your lovely message. I'm pleased that you love The Rescue Princesses and I think your ideas are fantastic!
You asked me what book covers are made from. I think they're made from a special kind of card. The Rescue Princesses covers are illustrated by a very talented lady called Sharon Tancredi. I think she does an amazing job!
Best wishes, Paula x

Stephania (Wednesday, 14 June 2017 23:42)

Hey Paula,I just want to say that I am a HUGEEEE fan of the Rescue Princesses.I love them!!!!I also want to say that I have a name of a kingdom and a title for a book of the Rescue Princesses.The name of the kingdom is Blofem,a kingdom with an occasion that grows the special flower fruit for their birds.The name of the title is The Special Mission.These can really come in handy when you ran out of ideas for your next book.Even though I have never met you or talked to you in comments I am really excited for your next book.I can try to convince my mom to see you the next time you make a new issue of the Rescue Princesses.You can nickname me Step because my name has that word.Since I don't have email please send it to me back to this website.I have a question for you,What are book covers made of?I know you can answer that because you are a author and write books.Hope you write soon.That is all I want to say and bye for now.

Hi Emily,
I'd be delighted to be your Author of the Month and I've now sent you an email about it.
best wishes
Paula

Emily Fredrickson (Saturday, 10 June 2017 09:44)

Hi Paula,

This is Emily Fredrickson from Marlborough District Library. (New Zealand)

Your books are very popular in our children's library so, we were wondering if she would consider taking part in the 'Author of the Month' segment of our library website blog?

Being our 'Author of the Month' means that we will focus on your books for a one month period. The books will be promoted in the library and people will be encouraged to review, comment on and discuss the books. The books are so popular in our library, we think you are the perfect choice for 'Author of the Month.' for the month of July.

All that we ask is that you write a short comment for our blog. This can be a few words about your work,the writing process, just a hello, or something about libraries and reading...

If this sounds like something you would be interested in being involved in, please reply to emfred21@googlemail.com.

Thank you!

Kind regards

Hi Hannah, thanks for your message. You have literally just made my day! I'm so glad you enjoyed The Rescue Princesses and Robyn Silver. I'm very excited about the second Robyn Silver book coming out in July because I had great fun writing it. There are lots more monsters in it too! I hope you enjoy it. Best wishes, Paula x

Hannah scott (Wednesday, 29 March 2017 13:30)

Dear Paula Harrison

My name is Hannah Scott and I'm aged 9. I want you to know that I really love your books!! The rescue princesses were great and I'm now staring to share them with all my friends at school so that they can read them too. I've just finished reading Robyn Silver (read it in four days) and I'm so excited for the next one!! My mum has shown it to me online and has promised to buy it for me if I continue to work hard at school. I really do love your work, you've even inspired me to write my own story on Robyn Silver and the monster hunters. I'd love to be an author when I grow up.

Keep up the good, I mean really good work

Love Hannah x

Kate (Sunday, 26 March 2017 23:38)

Hi again. Thank you for writing me. I have the perfect animal: why not a baby elephant? Thanks. Bye.

Paula Harrison (Monday, 20 March 2017 10:29)

Hi Kate, thanks for your message. I'm so pleased you're a fan of The Rescue Princesses! There are 12 books in the series at the moment, but some new books will be coming out next year. The first one will have a very cute river otter on the cover! Do you have a favourite animal out of the ones that are rescued?
Best wishes, Paula x

Kate (Saturday, 18 March 2017 07:39)

Hi, my name is Kate, and I'm 8. I'm a No. 1 fan of your Rescue Princesses series. You know the books about Rosalind, Lottie, Isabella, and Amina? I really like those books. If it's OK with you, I would really enjoy more books about Clarabelle, Emily, Lulu, and Jaminta. They are my favorite princesses. Thanks for writing these books. Bye.

Paula Harrison (Sunday, 05 February 2017 10:11)

Hi Kara, thanks for writing to me. I'm so glad you're enjoying the Rescue Princesses series. It's hard to say which is my favourite princess because I like them all, but I do particularly love Emily because she's the one that brings all the girls together in the first book The Secret Promise. I hope that helps! Good luck with your book report!
Paula x

Kara (Saturday, 04 February 2017 01:22)

Hello Mrs. Harrison. I am writing a book report about The Rescue Princesses Moonlight Mystery and I wanted to say that I love this series. Who is your favorite Princess that you created? I am nine years old and I go to school in East Aurora, New York. Best wishes to you and your family. - Kara Stewart

Paula Harrison (Monday, 12 December 2016 20:23)

Hi Lauren, I'm so pleased you love the Rescue Princesses! I think your idea sounds great! If all the villains from the books teamed up that would make a very big problem indeed!!! Do you have a favourite book or a favourite animal from the series? Happy reading and Happy Christmas!
Paula x

Lauren Zillmer (Sunday, 11 December 2016 16:28)

Hi Paula, my name is Lauren, and I love love LOVE the Rescue Princess series! I have a new idea for a Rescue Princess book: I'd like to see all the Rescue Princesses team up together and solve one big, huge problem, and I think the villains from each book could also team up to create that big, huge problem. I think this would be a good idea because Emily could work with Lottie because they are sisters, and Jaminta and Isabella would make partners, too. I really, really like your work, and I can't wait to see the next book. Your (hopefully) biggest fan, Lauren. :)

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 10 August 2016 10:38)

Hi Emily,
Thanks for your message on my website. I've emailed you a reply but here's a copy in case it's helpful for others.
How about getting the boys to do some animal tracking? Maybe print off some footprints of various animals and see if they can match the animal to the prints. Also, if the party is based around a ball then musical statues or musical bumps are good for boys and girls. I've had some great times at events where I bought or cut out cardboard crowns and got children to decorate them. The boys make crowns while the girls do tiaras.
I hope that helps and that your daughter has a great party!
Best wishes
Paula

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 10 August 2016 10:30)

Hi Izzy, thanks for your lovely message! I'm glad you've enjoyed The Rescue Princesses stories so much. There may be more books one day. In the meantime, if you live in the USA my Secret Rescuers series is due out next spring published by Aladdin and it's all about magical animals in danger. You might like those books too! Happy reading! Paula x

Emily (Tuesday, 02 August 2016 15:48)

I have a quick fan question and I was hoping you could email me. My daughter is having a 'royal ball' party inspired by rescue princesses and I have no idea what the boys should do. What do rescue princess princes do for fun? What are there responsibilities? How do they dress? Thanks for your input, we would really appreciate any ideas!

Dear Paula Harrison, my name is Izzy and I have got to tell you something! I love the rescue princess series! I have all the books and I am BEGGING you to write more! I think the books are fantastic and I think many more kids will enjoy reading them. From your adoring fan, Izzy.

Hi Maisie!
Thanks for writing to me! I'm so pleased you've enjoyed The Rescue Princesses and the Red Moon Rising books. I am writing new things but it's all top secret at the moment!! In the meantime you might like The Secret Rescuers series which starts with The Storm Dragon and then The Sky Unicorn. They aren't as long as Red Moon Rising but they're very magical!! You could always try one out from your library.
Happy reading!
Paula xxx
PS I sometimes think I'd like to be a kestrel too but then I do love animals so maybe I'd be a greytail!

Maisie Bowman (Sunday, 17 January 2016 19:48)

Hello Ms Harrison,

My name is Maisie and I am 5 1/2. I loved the Rescue Princesses so my Mummy has been reading the Red Moon series with me. I REALLY love these books! I think I'd like to be a kestrel fairy but would like to know more about them. I'm SO excited for the last book as it comes out just before my birthday. I hope you do another series like this one, maybe with more about the other tribes? Keep up the good work!

If you didn't choose nosy crow , who would you have chosen ?

Paula Harrison (Wednesday, 20 May 2015 09:49)

Hi Francesca! Thanks for writing to me. I'm afraid the Rescue Princesses series stops at book 12, but I have a new series for younger readers and the first book is called The Storm Dragon. If you liked the Rescue Princesses, I think you'll love this new story too!

Francesca Burke (Tuesday, 12 May 2015 01:33)

Hey! My name is Francesca Burke and could you try to write a new Rescue Princesses book sometime soon? Our little secret, but I wrote the Rescue Princesses, and they responded!!! Write me back soon!!!!!!!!

Paula Harrison (Thursday, 29 January 2015 11:06)

Hello JA!
If you are in the UK then it's best to post it to Nosy Crow, but if you're in the States it will reach me via Scholastic. Both addresses are on my Contact page. I'm looking forward to hearing from her! It sometimes takes me a few weeks to reply (if I'm trying to finish a book!) but I always write back to everyone. Remember to write down the return address including which country you are in. Paula xxx

J. A. (Thursday, 18 December 2014 04:50)

My daughter is trying to mail you a letter. What is the best address to use?

Lori Ingle (Friday, 05 December 2014 01:37)

Ms. Harrison,
My daughter is a huge fan of your Rescue Princesses and is very disappointed that there are only 12 stories. Are you planning on continuing the series? She has new concepts and first chapter beginnings for the A to Z Mysteries, and I have a feeling that she might try the same for Rescue Princesses. If you need ideas, or want a little first grade writing partner, let us know. :).

Warmly,
Lori Ingle
