Book Review - Godmother, by Carolyn Turgeon

>> Monday, December 7, 2009



Be warned - this isn't your average retelling of the old fairy tale. Sure, Cinderella, her ugly stepsisters and the fairy godmother all figure heavily in Carolyn Turgeon's book, Godmother, but this story sure packs a punch.

Lil has been stuck working in a tiny Manhattan bookstore for longer than she cares to remember. She appreciates the safe place to earn a living, the nice people who come into the shop and the fact that she has a roof over her head. But she's old and tired and sick of hiding her secret: she's Cinderella's fairy godmother, banished to this mundane existence because of the mistakes she made in the past.

You see, Lil wasn't the kindly godmother portrayed by Disney - she had wants and desires for herself. In particular, she wanted Prince Charming. But that wasn't what fate decreed.

Lil has managed to hide her secret for ages, but now her wings are getting the best of her - they will not stay hidden any longer. Neither will other secrets that could turn Lil's life upside down.

Will there be a happy ever after for Lil? Check out Godmother, by Carolyn Turgeon, to find out.

Book Review Submission Guidelines


If you've published a book, I want to read it!

I am open to submissions from traditional, e- and self-publishers.

I love contemporary, romance, fantasy, science fiction, suspense, western and young adult novels. I shy away from gore for the sake of gore, horror, and eroticism that verges on porn. If you send something that simply doesn't work for me, I will let you know so you can send it elsewhere.

Send a note with the title of your novel, its format, and a brief (one paragraph) description to Editor Jennifer. I will email back submission details.

Satisfied Customers


"Jennifer Feddersen has an eye for detail that didn't just improve my novel, but my writing. Feddersen pointed out the problems with my novel along with how to fix and spot them on my own. She also picked up on issues dealing with the depth of my characters. Her report was professional and honest. She gave me the type of feedback that is priceless in the publishing industry. I will definitely use her again."

I loved the detailed and time-consuming edit Jennifer Fedderson did for my novel. I believe that her professional feedback and comprehensive review have strengthened my voice, style and overall marketability. I look forward to working with Jennifer again on more projects. And I will absolutely recommend her editing services to anyone who wants to take their writing to the next level.

More About Jennifer...

Jennifer's fate was sealed when she aced the English portion of the SAT and received a BA in English from the University of Pennsylvania (with a concentration in Medieval Languages - Latin, Old English, Old Icelandic and a smidge of Greek). Although she briefly tried finance, child care, and even a foray into chicken farming, she couldn't escape her destiny - working with the written word.

From tutoring high school students to pass the SAT, to writing and editing copy for a distributing/manufacturing company, to teaching Latin, to writing textbooks, to proofreading novels, to judging short story contests, Jennifer has used her talent for spotting mistakes to benefit employers, clients and friends.
