Over the last few years, I've fallen in love with Fairytale Retellings. There's something fun about revisiting the familiar even if it's told in a new way. So, when my muse decided I should write a new Cinderella last year, I gave in. Why not have some fun with it, right? Thus, during Nanowrimo last fall, Rendersella was born. And, as of now, I have a contract for it to be released next July!!! I'm thrilled to share this fun story with you. It's definitely not your typical fairy tale. Mine are set in the real world and have no magic. But they have the familiar pieces like pumpkins and shoes and a Prince Charming character who is so sweet. Even an evil stepmom and stepsister. Even better, I'm working on a couple more fairytale retellings. Fairest Inn All is started, my Snow White retelling. And someday I'll write Beauty Shop and the Beast. Characters from the first book are in the other two as well, so it's going to be a fun series if I can find enough time to get it written. Want to know more about Rendersella? Here's a blurb to give you an idea.
Ella's dream is to have her artwork displayed in the famous Prince Gallery, but she has to eke out a minute here and there to work on it between working for her stepmother. When her stepsister steals her drawing and claims it as her own, she fears her last chance is gone. Chaz Prince wants to prove to his dad that he's ready to take more responsibility at the family gallery, but his dad insists Chaz prove he can handle it. Chaz talks him into a contest to bring in some new artists, sure this will be exactly what the gallery needs. When he stumbles across Ella's piece, he not only wants the artwork, but wants to get to know the artist too. At the gala to celebrate the contest winners, Ella is determined to let them know the artwork is hers, but time is against her. And where did her shoe end up? What do you think? Are you as excited as I am? More to come as we get closer, but I have two more stories releasing between now and then so back to work for me!

This is a place for me to tell you about what I'm writing, talk about the process or where some of my ideas came from, or even have other authors come in and talk about their books.
