Name: Sarah

Age: 23

Location: Ontario, Canada


I was online one afternoon, looking for any M.M. Kaye pages that I could find. I wanted to know more about her than I did already. I was horrified to find out that no one had taken the time to make a page for her!! So I sat down with a pile of her books and began typing out a fairly simple page that would have only a few features. I uploaded it and had it running in one afternoon, and I put a counter and guestbook on it after I registered it in Yahoo! search. Once that was done, I am ashamed to say, I focused more on my Gone With the Wind page and this one faded into the background.

When I went back to check on it, I was amazed with the amount of visitors it had received! Who would want to go to a 15-year-old's page about her favourite author? I soon found out she is the favourite author of many more than I thought, for in my childishness, I liked to think that I was the one who had discovered her greatness, and I was the only one to ever fully appreciate her work.

I now am working on modifying this page so it will be more welcoming and attractive for all of the fans who come here. Some of you will have noticed that I have switched from my Internet screen name to my real name, Sarah. So if any Sarah's or Sarah O's pop up in my bulletin board, that is just me. I was formerly 'Cossette'. Please note this change, and do not think that the page has changed owners! =)

Thank you very much for taking an interest in this page. I hope that there will be other pages about M.M. Kaye soon, made by other fans, who may have interpreted her work differently. If anyone does this, be sure to let me know so I may add a link. But thus far, when I search, I am finding that only my little page is floating around in cyberspace. A community of these pages is what I am striving for, so more people may know the name of M.M. Kaye and be exposed to her great works.
