Excerpt from Sadie Rowe, Chapter 1: “And what do fairies do?” Sadie asked. “Bring goodness to others, of course.” Pearl answered. “That’s what all of us good fairies do.” “Are there bad ones?” Sadie wasn’t sure if she’d ever met a bad fairy before. Then again, Pearl was the first fairy she ever met so far, and she didn’t seem to be a bad one. Cover of "Sadie Rowe And The Missing Necklace" by Claris Lam is shown.

PSA: I recently discovered that most of the emails I sent to you readers kept ending up in SPAM and not your inboxes. I’ve switched back to sending newsletters to you via Buttondown moving forward for now.

The next author newsletter will be sent on Jan. 13th. Thanks for your patience!

PSA: I Changed Newsletter Platforms (AGAIN)! I found out that after I switched to Kit.com back in November 2025, many of the emails I sent to you readers kept ending up in SPAM and not your inboxes. After trying to solve the issue with no success, I’ve switched back to sending newsletters to you via Buttondown moving forward for now. If you subscribed to me via Kit.com, I already moved you to the Buttondown newsletter. No worries! Also, all newsletter links in my socials + website are already replaced. What does this mean? what’s in my newsletters? Newsletters arrive in your inboxes every 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month! In-depth writing secrets and insights on my writing process and projects.
