Re: The Surprising Enchantress
The Unlikely Heroines sounds like a really fun book. I can't wait to see how the story plays out since in the origional she is such a mean person and it is hard for me to picture her deserving of a good guy. (Denise Boyd 2:17am September 16, 2013)
The Wronged Princess sounds funny- doing a wrong sister switch for the shoe. What a surprise for the prince! (Suzanne Bischoff 2:30am September 16, 2013)
It would be so exciting to go to New York and see a play, let alone see 3!! How I wish that I had been able to tag along with you!! It seems like you know all of the ins and outs of getting into the theaters to see the plays, as well as which ones are worth seeing!! I can only imagine how extravagant Cinderella alone was with the Costumes!! As for your books, I've loved Fairy Tales, in any form, since I was a child. The slant that you've put on yours makes Cinderella a bit more interesting, and a great way to start of my Fall reading with a bang!! I definately have your books on my TBR list, and am looking forward to reading them. The Wronged Princess is the book that has especially caught my eye, and I know I'll enjoy reading that one first!! (Peggy Roberson 7:46am September 16, 2013)
I love going to NYC to see a play! (Pat Lieberman 8:00am September 16, 2013)
What a great set of prizes. I am a theatre buff and would love to go see Broadway shows on Broadway! I have to settle for the touring companies...but I just love the magic of theatre. (Robyn Roberts 8:12am September 16, 2013)
i have always wanted a book where the prince falls for one of cinderellas sisters and that the sister actually the sister becomes nice or is really a nice person inside i cant wait to see how this turns out i hope they fall madly inlove with each other (Denise Smith 8:45am September 16, 2013)
I love New York City and you got to see three plays!!! I am really jealous. But, we have some nice theaters out here if I an willing to travel to Los Angeles. (Kathleen Yohanna 8:55am September 16, 2013)

It sounds like you a had a wonderful trip. Your books sound wonderful, thanks for sharing. (Jean Patton 9:54am September 16, 2013)
I live an hour from NYC but haven't been there in years. I'm not a city person. (Sandy Giden 10:10am September 16, 2013)
It was a great trip. The first time I was there, I'd gone to a conference in NJ. I stayed a couple of extra days to go into the city. I saw Promises Promises w/Kristin Chenowith and Sean Hayes. I was sitting next to this lady who was looking at her program. She said, oh, look, the boss is the same guy who played the bad guy in Ghost. I grabbed my program and started looking at the actors credits. And couldn't believe I hadn't been there before. That was about 3 years ago. Now I've been 4 times! (Kathy Wheeler 10:25am September 16, 2013)
Funny how we grown girls still love Cinderella! (Cherie Durbin 10:25am September 16, 2013)
Never been to New York. Maybe someday! (Vicki Hancock 10:33am September 16, 2013)
Exactly! Cherie. My story is a take off from the '65 version with Leslie Ann Warren and Ginger Rogers. (Kathy Wheeler 10:35am September 16, 2013)
Sounds Wonderful - I got to go last year to see Book of Mormon. What a happening! (Beth Elder 10:54am September 16, 2013)
Great post, Kathy. Glad you had a good time. I think all romance writers like Cinderella and other Disney flicks. After all, they all have a HEA. (Callie Hutton 10:54am September 16, 2013)
It was CRAZY, Beth. Great story! (Kathy Wheeler 11:01am September 16, 2013)
Sounds like you had a great time in NYC. I LOVE going there to see shows. Your book sounds GREAT. Thanks for the chance to win. Best of luck with the book. (Nancy Reynolds 11:16am September 16, 2013)
I so want to go to NY. (LeeAnne Hardin 12:41pm September 16, 2013)
Callie, this Cinderella is not Disney, it's Rodgers and Hammerstein. Big difference. The original Broadway Production was in 1958, when Cinderella was portrayed by Julie Andrews. I laugh when I think of the movie Victor Victoria! Both Julie Andrews and Leslie Ann Warren play a transvestite and hooker, respectively. Because Mary Poppins and Cinderella, respectively. It's a great movie from the early 80's. Hysterical! (Kathy Wheeler 12:41pm September 16, 2013)
You would love it, LeeAnne. (Kathy Wheeler 12:42pm September 16, 2013)
Oh I am really liking the sound of this book... love the variations in fairytales... thanks for sharing! (Colleen Conklin 12:45pm September 16, 2013)
Sounds good. I like the fairy tale connection. I never see Broadway or other plays. I did see The Mousetrap in Toronto about 12 years ago. It was a very small theater but that was okay because I'm short and I was able to sit right up front with no one in front of me. (Michelle Fidler 3:12pm September 16, 2013)
Please enter me. I have not read any of your books. Would like to and review them. (Jane Squires 5:20pm September 16, 2013)
I love NYC - my family and I have been there twice. My daughter and I look forward to seeing the shows more than anything. We haven't seen Cinderella yet, but I would love to. The cover of The Surprising Enchantress is beautiful, and the story sounds so fun and interesting. Congratulations and thanks for the chance to win!!! (Linda Brennan 5:27pm September 16, 2013)
I've never seen a Broadway play. That would be so special. The books sound fabulous! (Marcy Shuler 5:34pm September 16, 2013)
You're welcome, Linda. Marcelyn--that needs to go on your bucket list. Upscale musicals are soooo fun. (Kathy Wheeler 5:38pm September 16, 2013)
Frances September16, 2013
Taking care of my mom and I love to read. (Frances LoGiudice 7:13pm September 16, 2013)
I love rewritten fairy tales. Cinderella is one of my favorites. No matter how old I get, I still like to sit down and watch Rodgers and Hammerstein's version, as well as Disney's version. And any books that have a Cinderella theme, you can bet they are on my shelf! Thanks for the giveaway! (Becca Luman 7:18pm September 16, 2013)
Wow, Congrats on your 3 new books: THE WRONGED PRINCESS, THE UNLIKELY HEROINE, THE SURPRISING ENCHANTRESS. All 3 books sound fascinating and I am sure that I would enjoy all 3. I have always enjoyed Cinderella. Yes, it sounds like you had a wonderful time in New York City. I have never been there. I would love to win and read your books this Fall. Thank You very much. Cecilia CECE (Cecilia Dunbar Hernandez 8:34pm September 16, 2013)
Enjoyed reading your blog. Been to New York once and also got to enjoy seeing three shows, just to long ago for me to remember if I enjoyed them that much. (Sheila True 8:50pm September 16, 2013)
What a great time in New York you had to be able to see three shows. (Maureen Emmons 9:11pm September 16, 2013)
Your trip sounds like you had an awesome time!! I can't wait to read the new books as well...very intriguing and enchanting!! (Kim Charlton 9:15pm September 16, 2013)
Love going to the theater! Your Cinderella series sounds lovely! (Mary C 12:03pm September 17, 2013)
I'd love to see the show & read your books. Fantastic. (Mary Preston 7:58am September 17, 2013)
I've never been to New York theater so I'm super jealous. An updated Cinderella would be a fun read. Thanks for the contest. (Sue Farrell 5:50pm September 17, 2013)
I'd love to have the opportunity to see several nights of musicals on Broadway; I'm glad you got to have the experience. Your story sounds like a lot of fun. (Janie McGaugh 9:38pm September 17, 2013)
I have never been to New York. I have heard from my co-worker who went there with her husband to see Wicked in New York that it was great. It sounds like a Cinderella weekend. I want to have the Cinderella experience with my special fiance. (Kai Wong 1:52am September 18, 2013)
I have never been to NYC or saw a show live... I am a book- a-holic... Thank you for doing this! Good Luck everyone ! (Gina Keitz 3:18pm September 19, 2013)
