Publishers Weekly announcing my new book contract.

It was acquired by Alyson Day, my favorite editor at Harper Collins

The upper middle-grade fantasy tells the backstory of Cinderella's teenage godmother Bess, who is trapped by her vicious family in a glass palace until she shatters their evil spell and becomes a force for good. Publication is slated for summer 2024; Brenda Bowen handled the deal.

Library Journal gave it a starred review!

"VERDICT The intricately plotted mystery puts a new spin on several historical figures, including O’Keeffe and the Lindberghs, who are guests at the ranch. Lasky (“Calista Jacobs” mysteries) provides vivid descriptions through O’Keeffe’s eyes that bring the setting and timeframe to life."
