1. The Frost Series Blog Tour with Author Interview by Liz DeJesus

First Frost
The Frost Series Book # 1
By-Liz DeJesus
Publication Date- June 22nd, 2015
Published By – Indie Gypsy
 
Fairytales aren’t real…yeah…that’s exactly what Bianca thought. She was wrong.
 
For generations, the Frost family has run the Museum of Magical and Rare Artifacts, handing down guardianship from mother to daughter, always keeping their secrets to “family only.”
 
Gathered within museum’s walls is a collection dedicated to the Grimm fairy tales and to the rare items the family has acquired: Cinderella’s glass slipper, Snow White’s poisoned apple, the evil queen’s magic mirror, Sleeping Beauty’s enchanted spinning wheel…
 
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Frost wants none of it, dreaming instead of a career in art or photography or…well, anything except working in the family’s museum. She knows the items in the glass display cases are fakes because, of course, magic doesn’t really exist.

 

She’s about to find out how wrong she is.

Glass Frost

 

The Frost Series Book # 2
By- Liz DeJesus
Publication Date- June 22nd, 2015
 
When joined together, Cinderella’s slippers grant the wearer her heart’s desire. But whose wish will be granted?
 
When Cinderella’s glass slipper is stolen, Queen Felicia sends her faithful steward Terrance to the real world to retrieve his love and witch-in-training, Bianca Frost. The power of the glass slipper, when paired with its mate, and in the wrong hands, could ruin the peace of Everafter. Bianca must gather every bit of magic she has learned in the past few weeks to find the slipper and protect her new love. Together, Bianca, Ming, Prince Ferdinand, and Terrance venture deep into the heart of Everafter to seek clues as to who has stolen the slipper and why. Along the way, they uncover what happened to the Seven Dwarves after Snow White married the prince, but also learn the awful risk of tampering with black magic and the high price that must be paid for magic, even when used for good.
Bianca and Terrance’s relationship is put to the test. Through the pain of suffering and loss, Bianca must determine if following her gallant boyfriend into his faraway world is in fact her heart’s desire.

Bianca Frost and her BFF Ming Lee return to Everafter to attend the Winter Ball with their boyfriends, Terrance and Prince Ferdinand. They were looking forward to a short vacation, especially Bianca, who is being bullied at school. She is looking forward to the day when she can finally graduate from high school. But all is not cute hair and fancy shoes as a mysterious count sets his sights on Bianca at the ball. When Count Jonathan Bleu kidnaps Bianca and Ming, the pair must do everything in their power to escape his clutches. In this amazing adventure, Bianca and Ming find themselves traveling down a rabbit hole, where they have to survive the madness of Wonderland in order to make it back home to the men they love.
 
Bianca and Ming must travel to the Queen of Hearts’ labyrinth, find Bluebeard’s key and save Jack of Hearts before Bianca loses everything she holds dear.
 
 

Author Interview

 

 

Who is your favorite author? Right now, my favorite author is Marissa Meyer. She’s an amazing writer. I always look forward to each book she releases.

 

What books have most influenced your life? Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore, Girl Talk by Julianna Baggott and Kissing the Witch by Emma Donoghue.

 

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? For the longest time I wanted to be an architect and then I changed my mind to teacher. But I ended up working at a bookstore and a library for the majority of my adult life. I’ve always wanted to be surrounded by books. Still do.  

What are your favorite TV shows? Once Upon a Time and 30 Rock. I love anything that involves fairy tales and I also love Tina Fey…she’s hilarious.

 

What songs are most played on your Ipod? Anything by Mumford and Sons and Imogen Heap. They’re music speaks directly to my soul.

 

What one word best describes you? Creative.

 

Do you have any special routines or rituals? Not really. I thrive in chaos. I swear, if you spent the day with me you would be amazed at how I’m able to do anything in my life. I do like to write the old fashioned way, pen and paper. I love being able to take my notebook with me everywhere I go and being able to work on my story any moment I have a free minute.

 

What is something people would be surprised to know about you? That I collect dolls, mostly Monster High and Ever After High dolls. I blame my best friend Kristen. She’s the one that got me started with my collection.
