IT'S LIVE!!! In The Fairytale is finally here!

♠ Posted by Kumiko Lei

In Every fairytale there's anger, hurt, and love. For Raleigh Jefferson her fairytale is no different.

Since she was a little girl, watching Snow White meet her prince as she frolicked through the forest, the idea of Happily Ever After was embedded in Raleigh's mind. Her heart skipped a beat over the Beast's love of Belle, and she knew she'd swim the ocean to save her black haired prince from drowning, even without a mermaid tail. Destiny and forever. She wouldn't settle for anything less.

She wasn't looking for a man to frolic in the forest for her. If she were to actually witness such a thing she'd probably smack the man for acting a fool. But she did want her own Cinderella story. She wanted to glide down the aisle in her own glass slippers toward the man she loved, the one who returned that love unconditionally.

She never knew how hard this dream of hers would be until she met Him. Will the truth of the world around her and the pain that can be carried in someone's heart be too much to handle, or can Raleigh find a way to truly live... In The Fairytale?

I shake my head back and forth. “I find nothing about Princess stories odd but it isn’t every day you see something to do with them on a man. Anyway, who said I’d had the keychain since I was a kid? My last trip to Disney was only two years ago. Don’t laugh ok. I happen to be very much into the whole concept of meeting my Prince one day. The man that was destined for me type of thing. The life of a Princess with her Prince. I can’t believe I’m actually telling you this.”

“So you’re looking to be royalty one day? I can’t really help you with that but I can help when it comes to meeting a Prince.”

I take a right where he instructed and quickly glance over at him to see if he’s trying to poke fun at me again or not. He looks genuine though as he smiles and points at a small concrete drive that leads to a single black garage door. I turn in and put the car in park. I twist in my seat slightly looking right at him. “So, not that you yourself are him, but you want to help me to meet my Prince, ‘so say’?”

“Oh it’s me I’m talking about alright. Now I didn’t say I could help you with your Prince, just a Prince.” He reaches out his hand for a hand shake so I just play along confused as can be and roll my eyes as I shake his hand. “Hi Raleigh, I’m Christian Prince...”

Joan Duszynski lives in Virginia with her husband and their three kids. Woods surround her home and she loves the privacy and quiet it brings. She wasn’t always a reader, so that moment when she picked up a book and found herself engrossed in its pages and unable to put it down will never be forgotten. It eventually led her to want to try and write and share stories of her own, in hopes that others will find themselves reading and getting lost inside of them. Thanks can’t be expressed enough for your time and interest. Please feel free to connect with the author either through Email, Twitter, or Facebook.

Never Say Never

♠ Posted by Unknown
Ok I know they say " Never judge a book by its cover." I also know that many people do it anyway.

1- So I'd love to know do you? If you've read a book's synopsis or heard great things about it, but yet hate it's cover are you going to let that turn you off enough to not give it a chance?
There have been some covers that I really don't like at all, but for me personally if I feel drawn to what it's about then I have no problem giving it a chance.

2- What are some of your favorite things about a books cover? What basically do you feel should always be included (besides the title and author of course) as well as should always try and be avoided? Feel free to share some of your all time favorite covers here in the comments.

Here are some examples of covers that the cover alone dragged me in (not counting my own of course).

Welcome to my page. Whether you've had a chance to read my books yet or not thank you for stopping by.

From the books I've read,  written, and loved to the people I've met through the world of books, it's all been amazing and it takes me away to a wonderful place in so many different ways. You read the words laid out across the pages or screen or maybe you prefer hearing them audibly either way they grab you and sometimes you're lucky enough to come across one that never lets you go. They become sugh a big part of you and it's an honor any time I ever hear in any way that one of my books felt real to someone or that they just truly loved the characters and their story. The people that have made up the stories of my In The Moments Series have become a major part of me too and they feel real to me, I love it when I feel they are talking to me and want to get their words and actions out. To some this might sound crazy. To me it's purely amazing.
