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.

Book 3: Zally’s Book is Coming!!
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?
