My Fair Godmother

An incompetent fairy godmother. What could go wrong?

Some girls steal their sister’s clothes. Savannah’s sister steals her boyfriend. Yea, that was a really bad day.

After such a dramatic breakup, Savannah needs a true prince–and fast, because the prom is only weeks away.

But looking for love can be a Grimm experience.

Enter Chrissy (Chrysanthemum) Everstar: Savannah's gum-chewing, cell phone–carrying, high heel-wearing Fair Godmother. Showing why she's only Fair―because she's not a very good fairy student―Chrissy sends Savannah back in time to the Middle Ages, first as Cinderella, then as Snow White.

Being a fairy-tale princess is so not what it's cracked up to be.

Finally, Chrissy sends Tristan, a cute guy in Savannah's class, to the Middle Ages to turn him into her prom-worthy prince. 

He and Savannah must team up to defeat a troll, a dragon, and the mysterious and undeniably sexy Black Knight.

My Unfair Godmother

Be careful what you wish for—at least when your fairy godmother is in training.

Tansy Miller has always felt that her divorced father has never had enough time for her. But mistakenly getting caught on the wrong side of the law wasn't exactly how she wanted to get his attention.

That trip down to the prison was really not her best moment.

Enter Chrysanthemum "Chrissy" Everstar, Tansy's all-too-teenage fairy godmother. Chrissy is still training, so Tansy's three wishes don't exactly go according to plan.

And if mistakenly bringing Robin Hood to the twenty-first century isn't bad enough for Tansy, being transported back to the Middle Ages to deal with Rumpelstiltskin certainly is.

That fairy tale is so much creepier when it’s happening to you.

My Fairly Dangerous Godmother

A fairy godmother can be a dangerous thing.

Some people bomb singing auditions. Sadie throws up on live TV during hers. So yeah, there’s no way she’ll ever be able to face strangers again, let alone the people at her high school.

Her performance on America’s Top Talent is so bad it earns her a fairy godmother through the Magical Alliance's Pitiful Damsel Outreach Program. Enter Chrissy (Chrysanthemum) Everstar: Sadie’s gum-chewing, cell phone–carrying, high heel-wearing fairy godmother to save the day—or perhaps make it even more horrible.

Wishes are, after all, unpredictable things.

Sadie finds herself thrown back in time to be first the Little Mermaid and then one of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. Wishes are permanent, and if Sadie wants to get back to her home, she'll have to strike a magical bargain—one that involves stealing a goblet from a powerful fairy queen.

Worse yet, Sadie has competition from a handsome thief with an invisibility cloak. He may not only steal the goblet, he may make off with her heart too.

Tansy will need the help of her blended family, her wits, and especially the cute police chief's son to stop the gold-spinning story from spinning wildly out of control.

Doing a School Visit and I'm Bringing Gifts!

I was asked to go and speak to a third grade class about being an author and I'm really excited about it! I thought it would be fun to give each student an "author's survival kit" and included a tote, a notebook and pen, chocolate, and a story starter page. I hope they like it! Can you think of anything else I could include?

Which Project Should I Work On?

I was going through some old files the other day and found a book that I'd started, but never finished. I read the first three chapters and it's not bad! I kind of want to finish it now . . . but Second Guess is still calling to me. Elliot was in big trouble when I left him last.

Sometimes being a writer and having to make decisions is hard! LOL I wonder if I can write both of them at the same time? I'm just not sure! But I do love the premise of the story I found and I'll definitely finish it someday if not now. 

One of the questions I get asked a lot is where I find the ideas for my stories. Honestly, I have so many book ideas I will never live long enough to write them all. Story ideas come to me all the time. Usually when I don't have paper or a computer handy, haha! I've even written story and scene ideas on napkins just so I could get it down before I forgot. I've found it's always a good idea for me to have paper of some sort nearby. And I'm super grateful for YOU, my readers that always read the stories I finish. 

So tell me, what are you reading these days?

Here's a $200 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!

Here's the back copy:

Career-driven attorney, Jill Parnell, has worked long and hard to become a partner at Corbett, Gray, & Shaw. When the coveted position is given to the boss’s nephew, she does what any intelligent employee would do—attends a colleague’s wedding and schmoozes a high-powered partner at another law firm.

Her potential new boss has only one condition for her, that she demonstrate a personal life that will support a thriving career. Pretending to have a boyfriend is outside Jill’s comfort zone, but she invites the best man to act the part and Ryan is all-too eager to play her significant other. Sparks fly between them, but she reminds herself she’s only driven to date to get back on the partner track.

When Jill discovers Ryan is the lawyer who stole her promotion, her charade threatens to implode. But breaking off their pretend relationship could cost her the job of her dreams. And the more she gets to know Ryan, the more she’s tempted to tame the bad boy, and make him her own.

Book Review: The Healing Summer

In the Fiction Review Corner with Lauren

The Healing Summer by Heather Moore is a romantic story of two neighbors who go on an adventure to get closure and find ways to move forward in their lives. They set out to find the man who saved Maggie’s life in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 so that she can try to repay him. Jo, her recently divorced neighbor, agrees and they set out on their journey. Maggie, although she is 94 and spent much of her life married to another man, seems to have her heart set on finding her hero. At her age, though, she knows this may be an impossible task. Almost immediately upon their arrival and after a few phone calls, they are able to track down some of his relatives and they find out what happened in the many years since Maggie had last seen her first love. An unexpected love story unfolds that help both women heal from lost love and broken hearts.

 
This book is a short, sweet read that made me feel like I was reading a Hallmark movie. I found the storyline of the book extremely interesting and enjoyed reading about the character’s back stories. However, everything in the story came so easily to the characters that I kept expecting drama to unfold or something bad to happen, but nothing like that came along. It was just a happy story of a woman who finds everything she was looking for. If you are looking for a cute read with a happy ending, this was a fun one to pick up.

Here's the back copy:

At the age of ninety-four, Maggie Howard’s final wish is to return to San Francisco and find out what happened to the young man who saved her life in 1906 after the disastrous earthquake and fires that devastated the city. They’d been trapped beneath a collapsed roof for hours, injured and unable to call for help.

The morning of their rescue, Orlando Gallo promised he would find her again. But Maggie hasn’t seen or heard from him in over seventy years, and now, widowed and childless, Maggie hopes to leave her estate to Orlando’s descendants. She invites her neighbor, forty-year-old Jo Sampson, to travel with her, and as the two women return to San Francisco to track down Orlando, they form a strong bond of friendship and healing that transcends time and place.
