I have just had an experience most book lovers can relate to…I have discovered a new author and series to indulge in…and best of all, my local library has almost all the titles published to date!
The series is “The Sisters Grimm” by Michael Buckley and there are currently 6 volumes published of which I have read the first five. This is a delightful tale of the adventures of the many-times grandchildren of the original Grimm Brothers who fairy tales are actually case files from their detective agency.
Imagine if the descendants of the Grimm Brothers had been given the task of ensuring the safety of all fairy tale characters and creatures, which duty included keeping them relatively undiscovered from the rest of the world! The Sisters Grimm live with their Grandmother in a town called Ferrytown Landing and run into many of their favorite fairy tale characters while chasing giants, a deranged Little Red Riding Hood and other villains who are trying to run this sleepy little town without human intervention (or population). If you are a fan of fairy tales, fantasy or young adult fiction, this series is worth taking a look at.
Hi, there! My name is Beth Fehlbaum, and my debut novel, Courage in Patience, is being released in September. It goes on sale next month, though on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I’m in the process of setting up a blog tour beginning in March, and seeking hosts. PLEASE check out my site, http://courageinpatience.blogspot.com and let me know if you would be interested in hosting me on one of my stops! I would LOVE to get to know your teen readers because I know they will enjoy Courage in Patience.
Anyone who hosts me in my blog tour will have their name put in a hat for an autographed copy of Courage in Patience. Please e-mail me at beth@bethfehlbaum.com, if you would like to talk about my tour.
Thanks!
Beth Fehlbaum
