The Magic of Belief: How “Hollie’s Sparkle Ride” Found Its Light

When I began writing Hollie’s Sparkle Ride: The Christmas Wish That Came to Life, I had no idea how much Hollie’s spirit would mirror my own. What started as a simple story about courage and belief turned into a personal reminder that dreams don’t just happen — we create them.

Like Hollie, there are moments we all doubt ourselves — moments when fear, criticism, or past experiences whisper louder than faith. But then there’s that small spark inside that says, try again.

That spark is the heartbeat of this book. Hollie’s story is a celebration of believing in your light — not chasing it, but creating it — one brave step at a time. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or someone rediscovering hope, Hollie reminds us that magic isn’t only for Christmas morning. It’s for every time you decide to believe in yourself again.

This book found me during a time when I needed it most, and now, I’m honored to share that magic with you.
