After months of planning and preparation, I’m super excited that The Fairest Maidens, my newest medieval YA romance series, will hit shelves next Tuesday (Sept. 20)!

I had a lot of fun writing this series for many reasons!

One reason I loved creating this series is that I used the same fictional world that I used in last year’s The Lost Princesses series. I loved being able to go back into the same place, develop it more, and introduce in greater detail some of the characters mentioned.

Another reason I had fun writing this series is because for the first time I’ve based the books off real fairy tales. Beholden is loosely tied to Cinderella. Beguiled is developed around Snow White. And Besotted is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

I wasn’t sure how well readers would like the connection to the original fairy tales. After all, there have been so many retellings over the years, that it’s difficult to make one more version unique. However, so far, readers seem to like my recreation!

One reader said: “With sweet romance, powerful sacrifice, and amazing inspirational characters and lessons, Beholden is a wonderfully unique take on the classic Cinderella story.”

Another said: “Containing many elements from the classic fairytale Cinderella, Beholden goes above and beyond, adding adventure and plot twists while keeping the love conquers all theme that we all love.”

If you love fairy tales, I invite you to give the series a try and let me know how you think my retellings compare!

A final reason I enjoyed writing The Fairest Maidens series is because I wrote them all in close succession. I enjoyed each one so much that I was eager to move on to the next. While the books are stand-alones, the series culminates in the third book with readers learning which prince wins the Testing and becomes king. And of course, the third book has the epic battle with the antagonist!
