* The Stepsister Scheme is turning out to be more awesome then I had hoped. Oh dear. There are going to be five of these!! (Mr. Hines, I can’t decide if I love your or hate you!)

* If you’re a Requiem player and reading this, please go immediately and order your copy of Ancient Mysteries. I can honestly tell you at this point this is going to be the most beautifully produced thing White Wolf has yet put out. I was blown out if my seat by it, really. If you aren’t a Requiem player, you should be. 

*The word ‘seemed’ needs to be stricken from my language forever. Really. Done with it.

Cinderella–whose real name is Danielle Whiteshore (nee Danielle de Glas)–does marry Prince Armand. And if you can ignore the pigeon incident, their wedding is a dream come true. But not long after the “happily ever after,” Danielle is attacked by her stepsister Charlotte, who suddenly has all sorts of magic to call upon. And though Talia–otherwise known as Sleeping Beauty–comes to the rescue (she’s a martial arts master, and all those fairy blessings make her almost unbeatable), Charlotte gets away. That’s when Danielle discovers a number of disturbing facts: Armand has been kidnapped and taken to the realm of the Fairies; Danielle is pregnant with his child; and the Queen has her own very secret service that consists of Talia and Snow (White, of course). Snow is an expert at mirror magic and heavy duty flirting. Can the three princesses track down Armand and extract both the prince and themselves from the clutches of some of fantasyland’s most nefarious villains?

Couldn’t you just scream with excitement? Well, okay, probably not, but I can, and am! Of course, this isn’t an endorsement, not yet anyway, I have to read it first, but it is a HOLY CRAP NEAT LOOKING BOOK ALERT! I’ll keep you posted on this once I’ve read it. (And Jim, if you’re reading this, be careful poking around in my head for novel ideas I want to read, there are some scary places.)
