In Shanna Swendson's latest summer romp Once upon Stilettos (Ballantine Books; May 2, 2006), Katie Chandler's life is pure magic — literally. As a Texan-turned-Manhattanite and an executive assistant at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc. (MSI), Katie's seen more than her share of fantastical occurrences. She's no wizard; in fact, she's just the opposite. Katie has a special immunity to magic that makes her a wiz at spotting the deceptive enchantments and spell-laced documents that make business go a little too smoothly for MSI's competitors and contractors. If only she could avoid falling under the spell of Owen, a hunky wizard who also happens to be her co-worker. Owen, however, is too preoccupied with an alarming security breach to notice. Someone has broken into his office and disturbed top-secret files, and it reeks of an inside job. CEO Merlin (yes, the Merlin) taps Katie and her special ability to uncover the magical mole.
Keeping her feelings in check while sleuthing alongside Owen, Katie is shocked to discover that her immunity to magic is waning, putting her in grave danger. Soon she's surrendering to the charms and enchantments of everyone and everything around her, including a killer pair of red stilettos. Katie must now conjure up her instincts to get to the bottom of the break-in, regain her power, and win the wizard of her dreams. So polish your fairy wings, put on your magic shoes, and join Shanna Swendson as she catapults us into the frenzy and fun of magical Manhattan this summer.
Swendson will be signing Once upon Stilettos at Borders Books and Music, 4477 South Lamar, in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, May 13, 2006, 2:00-4:00 p.m.
