  • Harper Collins is publishing Cinderella Smith by Stephanie Barden in April. This is the first of three books HC plans to publish in this new series by my wife. Please look out for the first book – and I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as Steph did writing it.

    • It’s great that you’re an advocate for your wife’s work. I wish her the best of luck with the release. You must be very proud of her!

  • Thank You!

    It has been great fun to watch the process – and see Steph bring the quirks of kids we know to paper (the main story is based on my twin nieces). It only got better whe Diane Goode agreed to create the illustrations – which are amazing and make us laugh everytime we look at them.
