Announcing Book 5 : Sumi’s Book

Posted on by

Sumi Hara loves fashion. She always looks beautiful, and always wears the perfect outfit. When she arrives in Aventurine, Sumi is thrilled to learn that she’s a shape-shifter.

Unfortunately, she’s not very good at shape-shifting yet, so she’s given a guide named Kano—who’s distractingly gorgeous in his human form. But right away they get off on the wrong foot; Sumi can’t understand why this boy doesn’t seem to like her. When they find out that an evil fairy queen holds the final mirror shard needed to complete their mission, Sumi will have to discover what true beauty and perfection are, or she could lose Kano and her chance to become a fairy godmother.

We just wrapped up our time at Austin Wizard World Comic Con 2011 over the weekend! We had the opportunity to perform as part of Kid’s Day and to connect with so many interesting, creative people who are defining the world of popular culture today.

I was proud to be on the same program as Peter Mayhew who is best known as Chewbacca from Star Wars, and who recently released a children’s book called My Favorite Giant which is a whimsical adventure that highlights the differences in people as being a strength instead of a weakness. Although, written for younger children, it’s message of acceptance is universal.

Jan Bozarth at FaerieCon 2011

FairieCon is coming up Nov. 4th-6th and registration is now open; I was a speaker and presenter last November in Baltimore. It was so much fun to see tens of thousands in fairy costumes and “eating up” anything and everything fairy. I spoke to girls, moms, and dads about my books and things to come in the Fairy Godmother Academy realm. They invited me to come speak to kids on the east coast.
