DESPERATELY
EVER AFTER
A Novel

Laura Kenyon

Imagine what might happen if our most beloved fairy tale princesses
were the best of friends and had the dreams, dilemmas, and libidos
of the modern woman. How would their stories unfold after the
wedding bells stopped ringing? Set in a fictional realm based on New York City, DESPERATELY
EVER AFTER sprinkles women’s fiction with elements of fantasy, and encourages readers to rethink
everything they know about happy endings.
Years after turning her husband from beast back to man and becoming his queen, Belle finds out she’s
finally going to have a child. But before she can announce the wondrous news, she catches him
cheating and watches her “happily ever after” go up in flames. Turning to her friends for the strength
to land with grace, she realizes she’s not the only one at a crossroads:
Cinderella, a mother of four drowning in royal duties, is facing her 30th birthday and
questioning everything she’s done (or hasn’t) with her life.
Rapunzel, a sex-crazed socialite and one-woman powerhouse, is on a self-destructive
quest to make up for 20 years locked away in a tower.
Penelopea, an outsider with a mother-in-law from hell, is harboring a secret that could
ruin everything at any moment.
One part Sex and the City, two parts Desperate Housewives, and three parts Brothers Grimm,
DESPERATELY EVER AFTER picks up where the original tales left off—and reimagines them a la
Gregory Maguire’s Wicked. With the wit of authors like Jennifer Weiner and the vision of ABC’s
Once Upon a Time, the women of DESPERATELY EVER AFTER rescue each other from life’s trials
with laughter, wine, and a scandalous new take on happily ever after.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa from their  author site.   I am so thankful for their support. I also had an opportunity to feature Liz and Lisa’s novel Your Perfect Life .   I live in the Atlanta area and get many opportunities to meet some great authors.   Some t
