Good news, bad news…
Good news: The Selection Shenanigans is coming along fabulously! I’ve got another excerpt for you below = ) Missed the first excerpt? You can find it here. 
Bad(ish) news: Because Pretty in Peep-Toes was delayed, so is The Selection Shenanigans. It’s clicking along really well but will release April 18th (instead of March 19th).
Good news: Since VV6 is going so well, Fairmont Finds a Baker doesn’t look to be delayed and should still be coming out June 2020.
Even more good news: Love Ever After folks, you’re gonna love this excerpt. =)
And here’s your excerpt! Raw and unedited, just for you…
***Snip Begins***
<Alex> “How do you feel about fairies?”
I’d opened the <car> door, since we’d arrived and all, but when he said fairies—really fairies?—I closed the door again. “Fairies, like Tinker Bell? Or fairies, like the Fae?”
“Uh, somewhere in between, I guess? Maybe more like Tinker Bell, except, yeah, not really.”
“Are you being intentionally vague?” He was, he definitely was. “Why are you being intentionally vague?”
He cleared his throat. “So, fairy godmothers exist.”
I blinked.
Then—I’m not proud of this—I squealed. Like a twelve-year-old girl who’s been told that unicorns are real and they really do fart magic sparkle dust.
“Oh. My. God. Do they wear cool dresses and have sparkly wands?” Yes, I asked that question, and no I wasn’t kidding. When my happy sees a moment to shine, it shines.
“Ah, I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? You know all the things.”
“I don’t know all the things.”
“But you’ve lived for, like, forever.” I totally tease Alex about being the older man in the relationship, because he was ancient in human years and not exactly a spring chicken in enhanced years either, though aging was just weird in the enhanced community.
He chuckled. “Thanks for that.”
I smiled back at him. “No problem, hon.”
I loved it when he laughed. He was doing more of it these days, and I liked to think I was responsible. I even liked to think he was laughing with me, not at me. Who was I kidding? My hunky boyfriend adored me. Of course, he was laughing with me.
“FGs don’t mingle with the enhanced community, so however old I am—and I’m not that old—it’s not odd that I haven’t ever met one.”
“Our case has something to do with fairy godmothers,” I whispered in an awed voice.
“Yeah, which is why I’m telling you in the car. Get the stars out of your eyes. Cornelius is pissed. He thinks we’re under attack, and it might be tied to the selection. So before we walk into his office, you need to get a handle on that.” He motioned generally in my direction.
‘K, maybe I was a little excited. Maybe I was bouncing in my seat. Maybe I was vibrating with joy. And maybe there was a special shiny something in my eyes.
Because fairy godmothers were real.
Then an unpleasant thought occurred. “Wait a sec. This isn’t one of those times were the magic seems all sparkly and fun and then turns out to be of the sharky and lethal variety, is it?”
Mandy with her waiflike figure, dimple, mint green hair, and cheery expression came to mind. Because she seemed to be all fun colors and sparkles…right up until the teeth came out. So many teeth.
“I can’t be sure, having never met one.” He arched an eyebrow. “But I don’t think so. They’re supposed to be all about helping humans sort out their lives.”
There was a hint of an eyeroll with that last statement but I ignored it, because… “Just like in the movies!”
Alex rubbed his right ear. He was such a drama queen. I didn’t squeal that loud.
“Do you need to get out of the car and hop around like a little fluffy happy bunny for a while?”
“Hey, watch it, mister. I thought we’d already covered this. I’m no fluffy bunny.”
“Uh, huh. Keep telling yourself that.”
It’s possible I got out of the car and did a happy dance.
I did not, however, hop around like a cute little ball of fluff. Seriously, I was so much more dignified than that.
