I'm a little intimidated by that one, however, because the Disney version just might be my favorite animated princess film, especially because the chemistry between the leads is so dreamy. So I'd have to come up with a story and characters and a brand new romance that I love just as much as that version! It's been very fulfilling retelling fairytales that I've always wanted to alter and explore certain aspects of, but I'm sure I could find a spark of inspiration for something new and exciting with Rapunzel too :) (less)

I was enchanted from the moment I read the opening line, and once I started reading, I could not stop. Full of charming wit, deadly trials, and the most delicious slow-burn yearning. I am utterly obsessed with this grumpy-sunshine pair!
Tessonja Odette is 80% done with The Lies that Summon the Night: WRITING UPDATE: Just a little over a month away until the release of TLTSTN! We've got two gorgeous covers (US and UK editions), a signed Waterstones exclusive (quantities limited!), and so many more exciting things in store that I can't share yet. I can't wait for you to meet Inana, Dominic, and crew when the book releases February 3rd!
