In a world where fairy tale situations are as much a fact of
life as death and taxes, everyone knows hiring Fairy Godmothers, Inc. is the
best way to assure that your beautiful daughter or enchanted frog of a grandson
will get the happily-ever-after he or she deserves. Sure, sometimes a little
love potion is required to make sure those quotas stay up, but what Prince
Charming doesn't know won't hurt him. Kate, an experienced Fairy Godmother, who's enough of a
romantic to frustrate her rigidly rule-bound boss, has just received a
specialty assignment from one of the company's board of directors.
Cinderella—Rellie for short—was placed with an appropriately wicked stepfamily
years before, and now needs the dress, ball, and handsome prince to complete
her happily-ever-after. The fact that Rellie isn't sure this is her dream come
true—balls are fun, but princes tend to be less interesting than fluffy
bunnies—isn't something management considers a problem. Complicating things a bit is Jon, the youngest son of the
royal family, who meets Kate, and is smitten, but isn't quite ready yet to
reveal his true identity. After all, it's his older brother Rupert who's
supposed to marry Rellie, which means pretending to be a lowly civil servant
will give him the chance to spend more time with Kate. (As long as he can get
the ball arranged, and stop Rupert from getting himself into trouble over his
"self-actualization" business, he should have the perfect opportunity
to explain everything and get started on making a little magic with the Fairy
Godmother of his dreams.) But, of course, things never ever happen as planned. (preceding synopsis by Jolly Fish

Fairy Godmothers, Inc., a hilarious and witty debut novel from Jenniffer Wardell, was released April 27, 2013. Wardell uses her experience in journalism and theater to create a perfectly flawed and (hopelessly) romantic adaptation of an age-old fairy tale. Topped with Wardell's unprecedented knack for sarcastic humor, Fairy Godmothers, Inc. will leave readers desperate for more, while theater and movie producers clamber for production rights.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeff. I'll post my review of her book when I get it read. Probably in a few more weeks. Jenniffer's a cute gal. Real friendly.
