Author Profile: Charlotte Henley Babb

Author Name: Charlotte Henley Babb
Website: http://charlottehenleybabb.com/
Bio: Charlotte began writing when she could hold a piece of chalk and scribble her name–although she sometimes mistook “Chocolate” for “Charlotte” on the sign at the drug store ice cream counter.
When her third-grade teacher allowed her access to the fiction room at the school library, Charlotte discovered Louisa Alcott and Robert Heinlein, an odd marriage of the minds. These two authors have had the most influence on her desire to share her point of view with the world and to explore how the world might be made better.
In the meantime, Charlotte has fallen prey to steampunk and the gears are turning…corset, bustle and magic, oh my! She brings to any project a number of experiences, including work as a technical writer, gasket inspector, cloth store associate, girl Friday, and telephone psychic.
She has studied the folk stories of many cultures and wonders what happened to ours. Where are the stories are for people over 20 who have survived marriage, divorce, child-rearing, education, bankruptcy, and widowhood?
Charlotte loves Fractured Fairy Tales and writes them for your enjoyment.

Maven Fairy Godmother: Through the Veil by Charlotte Henley Babb

Charlotte Henley Babb is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Maven Fairy Godmother: Through the Veil. This was a very unique and quite funny spin on a fairy tale and the fairy godmothers that fill their pages. Maven is the not-so-ordinary fairy godmother, older, wider, and has many trip-ups on the job. But when she just entered the world of Faery, can anyone really blame her? Well, her boss seems to, but what’s more – she might even be out to kill Maven.
The book is built up well with regions such as Mundane, Fiction, and Faery, and the characters are funny and likeable. Maven is quite flawed, when we first meet her she is an out-of-work teacher and living out of her car. I liked her transition to fairy godmother, and I understood the story. There was a chance of getting lost and confused, but the authors does a good job of explaining and making Maven someone who can be relatable. The middle got a little jumbled at times with more characters being brought into the mix, and I found myself really favoring the sections that dealt with primarily Maven. But overall I thought this was a humorous read with a unique twist on what a fairy godmother can really be.

Maven’s new dream job–fairy godmother–presents more problems than she expects when she learns that Faery is on the verge of collapse, and the person who is training her isn’t giving her the facts–and may be out to kill her. Will she be able to make all the fractured fairy tales fit together into a happy ending, or will she be eaten by a troll?
