The Story Behind Princess Pickle Pants

Every great character starts somewhere — and Princess Pickle Pants started at the dinner table.

My kids were being picky eaters (as kids do), and I made up a silly story about a princess who was actually a pickle. They loved it. They asked for more. And before I knew it, Princess Pickle Pants had her own world, her own friends, and her own book series.

What started as a bedtime story became something bigger — a celebration of imagination, vegetables, and the wild creativity of childhood. And honestly? Writing Princess Pickle Pants is the most fun I’ve ever had as an author.
