Randall de Seve

Dear Reader:

I know the rules. You're not supposed to make fun of people—especially not your own family. But I did. I admit it, I did!

The title character in THE DUCHESS OF WHIMSY: AN ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS FAIRY TALE is my mother; her love interest, my father. Ok, not really my mother and father (but that's where the fun comes in). In real life, my mother doesn't ride on a fairy-pulled swing. In real life, my father doesn't only cook grilled cheese sandwiches—he doesn't cook at all! But this is a fairy tale—"a nice break from routine princess stories" (School Library Journal)—so anything goes. Right?

Want to know more about this "magical" world, brought to life by my extremely talented husband/illustrator, Peter de Seve, and "certain to be beloved by every ordinary and extraordinary child out there today" (Fuse #8)? Write to me on facebook or at rdeseve@verizon.net. And here's Peter, too!
