Let the masquerade begin!
Angel Moncoeur has always wanted to be a fashion designer, but without money or connections, it’s going to be a challenge. When an opportunity to leave her home in New York and head to Paris appears, Angel grabs it – even if it means masquerading as her best friend Lily. That can’t be too hard, can it? But when she falls in love with her very own Prince Charming who thinks she’s someone else, Angel embarks on a plan to secure her happy ever after.
THE CINDERELLA MOMENT is a fabulously fun story about high society, mistaken identity, love, betrayal, friendship – and great clothes!
THE CINDERELLA MOMENT is a contemporary twist on the Cinderella fairytale. There are no fantasy or magical elements. This is NOT a paranormal or fantasy novel! This is a clean contemporary coming of age story that readers can be conformtable recommending to daughters, nieces, students and friends who enjoy teen romance reads. Originally published in Austalia by Penguin. Available in the U.S. in both print and eBook from Swoon Romance.

Author Bio
I was born in Melbourne, Australia,but have lived and worked in Papua New Guinea and the Middle East and travelled to more than thirty countries. During my time abroad I studied as an off-campus student with Deakin University and achieved my BA (Hons) while raising my three children. After graduating with a PhD in history from the University of Melbourne, I had my first two books: ‘Georgette Heyer’s Regency World’ and ‘Georgette Heyer’ (the biography) published in both the UK and the USA. I’ve had lots of fun giving talks around the world on Georgette Heyer and the Regency, and am a passionate advocate for women writers, books and reading. My first novel, ‘The Cinderella Moment’, was published by Penguin Australia and Swoon Romance in 2013 and will be followed by the sequel, The Rapunzel Dilemma in 2014. I love writing and spending time with my family, gardening, reading and going to the beach. I have a black belt in karate and am love having adventures. One of my favourite things is experiencing new cultures, meeting new people and trying out different languages. Particular interests include Georgette Heyer first editions, and after a glorious visit to South Korea in 2012, Korean language and culture.

It depends. I think they’re pretty average prices but then again, I’ve never been anywhere else.

Ahh… I’ve never been anywhere else either
I wouldn’t say books here are average, they’re actually quite pricey, especially the hardcovers. But when we have book fairs, we get really lucky!
Do you have book fairs often?
I’m sorry for asking so many questions but I’m trying to figure out the places for a bookworm to live; I’m thinking America is the best.

Yes, hardcovers are rather expensive. I’m not sure – I’ve never been to one (unfortunately) but it could just be that I’m out of the loop 😦
Haha no problem! Yes, I would have to agree with you – they have so many book conventions! And Barns & Noble! And Amazon & Book Outlet shipping are not ridiculously expensive!! I’m rather jealous… Though I think England would be good, too 🙂

Exactly, new releases aren’t even expensive there and it is so easy to meet authors and get their autographs! Yup, it is so convenient to be able to buy stuff from Amazon and not have to worry that shipping will cost just as much as your purchase item. Shipping to Malaysia is ridiculously expensive 😦
Haha, me too…
Yeah, England seems to be just as good for a bookworm! 🙂
