Sabina Williams is a gentle, soft-spoken,
remarkable young girl who loves animals and is always ready for
adventure. She lives with her mother, father and sister in the small
village below the beautiful castle on the hill. She cannot imagine
anyone could be so lucky as to live in the magnificent palace. She
is a daring young girl who loves to play deep in the woods. When she
takes her sister, Kathie, on a picnic, they wander too far and
become lost. Her cries for help trigger a brief chance meeting with
two handsome young princes. This leads to an incredible journey,
which fills the story with suspense and mystifying fun. Her
extraordinary journey takes her to unbelievable places, places she
could only dream of and imagine. Wild animals, underground tunnels,
and secret doors and rooms are only a part of the mystic suspense in
this adventure-filled children’s fantasy novel. |

Gigi
Lane was born in Springfield, Illinois to a family of humble means.
In 1952, her family moved to Fullerton, California. She was one, of
six children.
In November of 1959, she traveled to Germany to marry her fiancé who
was serving in the United States Army. They lived in Germany for one
year, and traveled over most of Europe and England during that time.
In 1973, her husband passed away and left her with two young
children, a son and a daughter. She remarried in 1976. Her two
children have given her four beautiful granddaughters.
Her educational background includes, Harvard Park Elementary School,
Ford Elementary School, Wilshire Jr. High School, and she is a
graduate of Fullerton Union High School. She attended Coastline
Community College where she took some travel related courses and
purchased a travel agency in 1985. She owned the travel agency until
she sold it in late 1991.
She started writing poetry in Jr. High School. Her English teacher,
Mrs. Richelieu, played a significant roll in her life. She
encouraged Gigi, to use her gift and pursue her creative writing
talent. She wrote poems for people just because she loved to write.
In 1997, she created a small business, Poetry in Motion, using her
skills of writing personalized poetry.
In 1999, her daughter and family lived with her for a period, and
each night her granddaughter would ask for a bedtime story. Her
granddaughter would choose the subject, which was usually about a
beautiful princess and charming prince, wild animals and magical
unicorns. After they moved away, she was sitting at her computer one
day and started typing her granddaughter’s favorite story. Before
long the series, The Castle Kids was born. Sabina’s Enchanted
Journey is the first book in that series.
Gigi explains, when something touches her heart, words come to her.
It is a God given talent and she thanks Him each day for that
talent. When she writes a poem, she sends it to the person, for whom
it was written, expecting nothing in return. However, she is very
proud of a few very special acknowledgements. Her father was born in
Wales, Great Britain; therefore, the English are very dear to her heart.
She wrote a poem and sent it to the Queen of England in honor of the
Queen’s 50th wedding anniversary. It was during the time the queen
and her family was going through the sadness of Princess Diana and
Prince Charles, Fergie and Prince Andrew’s difficult times. Gigi is
proud to say she has a thank you from Buckingham Palace for the poem
she sent to the queen. She also has a thank you from Bill Cosby for
a poem of sympathy she sent to him when his son was murdered, and a
letter of acknowledgement from Bernard Kerick for a poem/card she
sent just after 9-11. In addition, she has a thank you from Sen. Bob
Dole for a Fourth of July poem sent to him. The Queen and Bill Cosby
poems are on her personal web site,

She is currently in the
process of broadening her writing sphere to include Christian
romance/mystery for adults.
