Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story
Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story
Carolyn Turgeon will read delectably from Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story and it will be the best night of your life, ever.
Godmother: The Secret Cinderella being the dark yet ENCHANTING back story of Cinderella's fairy godmother...
From the back cover:
Lil is an old woman who spends her days shelving rare books in... a tiny Manhattan bookstore and lonely nights at home in her apartment. But Lil has an intriguing secret. Tucked and bound behind her back are white feathery wings–the only key to who she once was: the fairy godmother responsible for getting Cinderella to the ball to unite with her Prince Charming.
But on that fateful night, something went terribly and beautifully wrong. Lil allowed herself the unthinkable: to feel the emotions of human beings and fall in love with the prince herself, going to the ball in place of Cinderella in her exquisitely gorgeous human guise. For her unforgivable mistake, she was banished to live among humans, far from her fairy sisters and their magical underwater world. But then one day she meets Veronica–a young, fair-skinned, flame-haired East Village beauty with a love of all things vintage and a penchant for falling in love with the wrong men–and suddenly it becomes clear to Lil that she’s been given a chance at redemption. If she can find a soul mate for Veronica, she may right her wrong and return to the fairy world she so deeply longs for. . . .

Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story
Carolyn Turgeon will read delectably from Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story and it will be the best night of your life, ever.
In fact in years to come you will often find yourself hearkening back to this night and saying to yourself, "That really was the night to end all nights, the night when my life truly began."... And then you will down a luxurious, glittering cocktail and swoon onto a piece of fashionable furniture, overcome by the euphoria of memory.
And you will bask in the memory not only of this astonishing reading and book signing, but of how, afterwards, you whisked yourself into a cab and headed to LUCKY CHENG'S to celebrate this book in all its splendor AS WELL AS the glorious leave-taking of one glamorous Ms. JOI BROZEK, who, after spending her whole life in New York, is moving to KANSAS for true love.
And if you cannot be lured by the celebration of literature and true love and all that is good and right in the world, note also that there will be DRAG QUEEN KARAOKE.

1. What was it about the Cinderella story that inspired you to revisit this fairy tale? I think the initial inspiration for Godmother was just that I wanted to do something more simple than I had done in my first book, which was a struggle and took many years to complete...
Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story
Carolyn Turgeon will read from Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story and many many delightful whores derves will be consumed.
And there will be booze, and presents.
And you will be transported, for one evening, to a better, wilder world in which everything smells like cinnamon and gardenia and fresh rain.
And for all ...eternity you will remember this night and say, "Yes. That is the night when my life truly began."
And everyone you tell this to will pass out from jealousy and shake their fists at the sky, lamenting the beauty that could have been theirs... but that now exists only in dream and memory.
And your deepest heart.
