Finding the Magic is an adorable retelling of Beauty and the Beast set during one of my favorite time periods, WWII. I wrote a review on Goodreads. But basically—the book was beyond warm and tender and captivating and I'm thrilled I had the honor to beta read it.
And it was such a lovely short read, too.
Anyways, this story is being published, and that means there is going to be a gorgeous cover . . .
But first, what is it about?
Fifteen-year-old Belle is sent to the countryside to escape the London bombings of WWII. She knows she will miss her mother and worry about her father, who is away fighting in the war, but has no idea what awaits her in the manor in which she is to live. She finds friends in the staff but the mysterious and elusive master of the house frightens her. Can she teach him to find the magic in a world where magic seems to be long gone?
And who wrote it?
Jack is an author, which is why she spends much of her time writing and little of her time editing. She likes to follow characters around and tell their stories even if they don't tell her everything they know about their stories. She lives alone in a Hobbit hole and spends her spare time with her nose stuck in a book. When she isn't doing that she is busy baking bread and annoying her neighbors with bagpipes.
And now the cover . . .
Now don't you just want to read THAT?
And a side update . . . I'm now officially an author on Amazon and GoodReads. So if you think (or better yet, KNOW!) that you might like my writing feel free to follow me at one or both places ;D
I need to read it! I love the cover!
