Margaret Mahy, my favourite author, the lady whose amazing writing knocked my socks off at a time when I thought young adult fiction had no more surprises to throw at me... died this summer at the age of 76. The Storylines Children’s Literature Charitable Trust published an online collection of tributes written about the grand old lady of New Zealand children's literature. I'm honoured to have my story is in that collection.
Although there will be no more stories from Margaret, I still feel excited to think of the future generations of readers who will share my experience of thrilling discovery when they come across her work for the first time. I have no doubt she'll be delighting fans for a long time to come!
