I can’t believe I’m releasing the third book in “The Fairy Godmother Academy” series! This one is titled Zally’s Book and I can’t wait for you to read it. Random House is officially releasing it on August 24th, but you can pre-order it now on Amazon. Here’s a little bit more about the book:
Zally Guevara always knows where she’s going. She has a passion for maps of all kinds and can’t wait to pack her suitcase and explore the world. But Zally doesn’t have to wait to get her wish. With the help of a cup of magical cocoa from her grandmother, she travels to a place that only girls training to become fairy godmothers can get to—the enchanted dreamland of Aventurine, a place that has no map.
In Aventurine, Zally is given her quest: to save a fairy queen who has lost her will to live. Zally’s companions are a young fairy with a broken wing, and a stallion prince. The trio’s journey proves to be even more challenging than they could have imagined as they meet monsters and get lost in a ruined fairy city. All the while, Zally is making a map of Aventurine and discovering that she has a talent, passed down from generations of women in her family: understanding the thoughts of animals. But will this be enough to save the fairy queen and ensure that Zally can continue her fairy-godmother training?
June 17, 2010 I signed books at Terra Toys in Austin as a part of their annual Fairy Tea Party event. Congrats to them for having hundred of girls and moms show up in a magical variety of wings and sparkly dresses!
This is me with Olivia Griffin Erikson age 6. Olivia’s mom told me they had read Birdie’s Book and were ready to get into Kerka’s Book now. Olivia’s favorite part of Birdie’s Book was when Birdie and Kerka swam with the River Maidens.
Of course, we all know Kerka was forced to swim because she was afraid of the water. Those sly River Maidens showed her that she could breathe under water and swim as well as Birdie. Sometimes we just need someone to nudge us into doing things. A gentle push into unknown territory is a good thing.
Thanks to Olivia, Terra Toys and all the girls who love fairies and the Fairy Godmother Academy!

In Kerka’s story, the Kalis Dance is a powerful form of self-expression, made up of symbolic movements that hold special meaning for the dancer. Dancing can be an amazing way for all of us to express our feelings–think of the movement as a way of speaking or telling a story without using words. Your dance may change from moment to moment or day to day. One thing you can always count on–it will be as unique as you are!
