Friends! I am so excited to announce that it's finally release day. The Long Way Home is out! For a full list of buy links (to be updated as they go live) and the Rafflecopter to win the 7" Kindle Fire I'm giving away this month, see below! The Long Way Home took a lot of work to write and research, and I am proud to say that it's my favorite of the series so far. In this book, Alice Henshawe leaves Southwark and winds up becoming the inspiration for Charles Perrault's Cinderella (or Cendrillon) when she meets him at Versailles. How is such a thing possible? I'm so glad you asked! In want of a magic wand, Ysabeau, Chloe, and Marie-Clemence are forced to rely on surer methods to transform our humble barmaid into a legendary beauty: makeup and someone who knows how to put it on! In this new excerpt, we get a front-row seat to the intricacies of a 17th century makeover, egg whites and all. Enjoy! *** “You must relax or the crayon will leave crea

The author of the Cinderella story we are most familiar with, Charles Perrault, was in Versailles at this time and writing fairy tales. Alice Henshawe is an English barmaid who becomes employed as the Mistress of the Wardrobe for the Marquise de Harfleur. When her childhood crush, Jack Sharpe, comes looking for her, they find themselves in the middle of the scandal that
