Seven years ago a story came to me in dreams. About a princess searching for a lost star through the wallpaper of her chamber. It returned once, twice, again. So I sat down and started writing it down at night and in every spare moment.
Forget Me Not isn't only a fairy tale for children. I wrote it as a story in which adults, those who choose to look, can also see other motifs, other shadows, other light. The second reading reveals what the first overlooked.
A fairy tale that adults read twice. Once for the children, and once for themselves.
I wrote my first book when I was seventeen, a story about the First World War. It never made it out into the world; it stayed with me as a quiet reminder of when I first began learning how to build a world out of words. Forget Me Not (originally Pomněnce in Czech) is my second book, and the first I longed to place into your bookshelves.
Seven years of life in one book. It came together slowly, dream by dream, out of love for children, my own and others, and for those who need to hear that light always wins over the deepest dark.
There won't be a sequel to Forget Me Not. But the next book is already knocking at the door.
Thank you for reading my stories.
