Winner and Book NEWS! :D

First off, the winner of the signed copy of Northanger Alibi is: Lexie@BookBug!  Congratulations Lexie!  And thank you for helping to spread the word of my launch in Utah. 

Secondly--I'm now getting ready to fly out tomorrow (Wednesday) for the AWESOME book launch in Farmington NM. Here's the invite for that!  (looks a bit familiar huh? *grins*)

Also, I have some really AMAZING Book News!

I've just finished Prince Tennyson edits (did I tell you I have a publisher for it?)  This totally wonderful, sweet, tear-jerker will be available this spring! And I'll be uploading more information later...

This same publisher has contacted me, and we are in the works for a brand new AWESOME project that I wanted to announce here!  As of this summer, the first of the Jenni James Faerie Tale Collection will be released.  I will be writing 20 Faerie Tales over the next 4-5 years!  (They're all set in the fantasy princess era, because I love ballgowns, slippers, and princessy things, that's why.  Lol!)

First one to release: Beauty and the Beast--
He's been turned into a werewolf, and cursed to switch into a beast every night.  He has exactly one year to find a girl to love the beast in him, who can break the spell and allow him to be fully human again.  She only knows him as the conceited prince--though perhaps he's changed right before her eyes.  He's not as full of himself as he once was, he's more gentle now...  but then again, so is the beast.

Second one: Sleeping Beauty--
She's an enchanted ghost who has no idea she's dead.  He's the prince who's come on a dare to release this fair maiden from her spiritual form, break the enchantment, and return her to her rightful throne.  She's beautiful, creepy, and dead, what's not to love, really?  If only he weren't so afraid of ghouls!

Third one: Rumplestiltskin--
A kingdom ruled by one brother because of his looks and manipulative pride, the older brother and rightful heir was crippled by a witch as a small boy, the palace hid him away and announced his death. Now a crippled servant of the castle, mocked as Rumple-Stilt-Skin, he vows to help the beautiful peasant girl who has been given an impossible task; spin wool into gold or die. Can she unravel his dark secrets and uncover his real name, the name of her true king, before it is too late?

  2. So Exciting. I love how you take stories and twist them into a whole new tale. I have one of my own in the works. However, it is an adaptation of a french play that I love!!
