So…I live in northern Virginia, just outside DC. We’ve had some wacky winter weather, which included a few 80+ degree days just a week ago. T-shirts, flip flops, flowers and trees budding…ah, spring is in the air. Or was. So explain to me how, on the first day of spring, we’re gearing up for a “snow-sleet-ice event.” Yeah. Mother Nature has a seriously off sense of humor. I’m so not amused. It’s probably all my fault for finally being organized enough to pack away my snow boots before June. That’ll teach me.

I wanted to thank you all for the great notes and letters. I wish Dylan’s story was coming sooner, too! I had such a great time writing that one and I hated leaving Glenbuie behind when it was all said and done. I will also miss the godmothers in my Glass Slipper series, but we had a great ride while it lasted. I hope you all enjoy their last foray into “life makeovers” this June with NOT SO SNOW WHITE and on the off chance you haven’t had a peek at the back cover copy on my regular homepage, I decided to post it here as well. And you only have to wait until May 30th to get the whole book. Unless, of course, you win the Friday Giveaway, then you get it RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE. So what are you waiting for? Enter already. (See yesterday’s post for details.)

Not So Snow White…Back Cover Copy:

Can a down on her luck princess really have it all?

A whisper away from thirty, gorgeous Tess Hamilton has been the tennis world’s top title holder and celebrity since she won her first championship at fifteen. Now the headline-making party girl is getting her first taste of mortality — and bankruptcy — thanks to new teenage phenom Gabrielle Fontaine. But it’s Gaby’s cool, calm, and all-too-collected brother and manager, Max, who really has Tess seeing double. He’s the first man she can’t seem to seduce — or intimidate. It appears Tess is truly off her game, until a real-life, modern-day fairy godmother steps in….

Aurora Favreaux, a founder of Glass Slipper Inc. and old family friend, has a plan to get Tess back on her stilettos, and it includes an unlikely meeting between Tess, Max, and Gaby, at Glass Slipper’s new London headquarters — just in time for Wimbledon. It seems that Tess is going to hit the court in a whole new way, to prove to the world — and herself — that a woman with the heart of a champion can ace life and love — even after the big 3-0….

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So there you have it folks…a little teaser. I hope all you Glass Slipper fans enjoy the final entry. I think it’s a fitting end to a fun series. And for those of you who haven’t read The Cinderella Rules, Dear Prince Charming, or Sleeping With Beauty, each story stands alone and they can be read in any order.

In the New & Exciting News Department, with both the godmothers and the Chisholm brothers series wrapping up, have no fear! I will be launching a new series with Kensington Brava next year. And these guys? What can I say, but that each one gets his very own book and deservedly so. I just finished the first chapter on the first one, and…well…what a way to spend my spring and summer is all I’m gonna say. Is this like the best job ever or what? More details to come soon!

(And if any of you are members of the Rhapsody Book Club, I just had a chat with their editor about Not So Snow White, where I might have talked a bit about these guys, too. They’re hard to ignore like that. That interview will run in one of their spring catalogues…)

Happy First Day of Spring! Don’t forget your snow shovels!
