At the LA Times Festival of the Books in April, Isle of Avilon Press sold out their entire stock of books in a day. The show proved that both children and adults are loving this new series which has been described as the next “Twilight”, “Harry Potter” and “Lord of the Rings” phenomenon. Also in the social networking world, The Goddess Prophecies Characters who tweet, blog and have their own Face Book an Myspace pages have had well over seven million hits! No wonder, Whitney believes that the show in Orange County will be no exception.

“We are so thrilled about being invited to perform at the Children’s Book Festival in Orange County! It’s an amazing opportunity to introduce the Multi-Level Platform Tour of “The Goddess Prophecies” with over twenty top performers and all its original music, dance, songs, puppetry, acting and martial arts!

“The Goddess Prophecies” is so much more than a book series and we are excited to premier this new form of promotional entertainment to families and children at the Festival. Phillip Sahagun and The South Coast Martial Artists have worked with Jackie Chan and Tina Turner and we have an amazingly gifted choreographer, Clarice Ordaz and a group of wonderful young dancers and singers as well as some very talented voice over actors from the audio book. There will even be a twelve foot dragon on stage! It’s going to be a lot of fun for the entire family to see a production of this kind, live on the main stage!”

Taking place from the Fourth Century A.D. to the End of Days, “The Goddess Prophecies; The last Princess and The Cup of Immortality” follows the story of Vivienne Le Faye, a sixteen-year-old, with intuitive powers who inherits a priceless family treasure and then becomes an instant target. As an ancient family curse haunts her and danger threatens her, a mysterious boy with blazing golden eyes appears out-of-nowhere to protect her. As her strong attraction to him grows, she finds herself on a thrill ride to a royal destiny in a world of wizardry and magic, where she discovers he is more than human.

Each year the Orange County Children’s Book Festival features popular authors, illustrators, storytellers, entertainers; and exhibitors that support reading and education along with fun activities for families. The festival features a variety of entertainment for the entire family.

In addition to their author, illustrator and storyteller stages throughout the grounds, the Festival’s Main Entertainment Stage will feature “The Goddess Prophecies,” a spectacular thirty minute show that is sure to entertain attendees.

With the popularity growing for the new fantasy series, Hollywood have also picked up on the hype and have shown interest in turning the series into a 3D film. “I continually encounter statistics about fantasy-based films which reinforce my belief that ‘The Goddess Prophecies’ can be made into a fantastic film viewer experience as well as a worldwide box office success,” states Bernard Stolar, former president of Mattel Toys and Sega.

In anticipation of widespread demand, from page to screen, Whitney has already begun work on the second installment of her fantasy franchise with “The Sword of Power,” to be followed by “The Stone of Destiny,” “The Platter of Plenty,” and a subsequent volume, “The Orb of Majesty.”

The Goddess Prophecies team will be performing on the OC Book Festival Y/A stage at 10.30am and the Main Stage from 1-2pm.

Book Review ‘Best Fantasy Stories’

July 7th, 2010

Last princess 2

Title: The Last Princess and the Cup of Immortality

Author: D. R. Whitney

Release Date: November 1, 2009

Pages: 374 pages

Genre: Epic Fantasy

 

Best Book Quote:

“Vivienne drifted above the desperate scene until the warmth of strong arms embraced her. The handsomest young man she had ever seen with black hair and the most penetrating golden eyes, was comforting her as he held her in the fine wool of his purple cloak.”

 

Imagine a girl who dreams of a handsome boy with golden eyes. In the dreams, he is madly in love with her and shows her places so beautiful she cannot believe they are real. But real they are and with this, you have the makings of a great new teen fantasy series, The Last Princess and the Cup of Immortality by D. R. Whitney. This is the story of Vivienne Le Faye, a normal American 16-year old girl who lives in a boarding school in Manhattan. Her grandmother has recently died, leaving her an orphan. She inherits a family heirloom, a beautiful ruby necklace, and immediately begins to have vivid dreams of a golden eyed boy who professes his eternal love for her. The hardest part for her to believe is that the dreams are also telling that her she is the Lady of the Lake, the last princess of an alternate world.

 

This alternate world is filled with magic and mystery but absolutely no technology. Her dreams tell her that evil people are coming for her and Vivienne is determined to find out what the heck is really going on – it seems her dreams are saying that if she does find her way back to the fantasy world then both her world and theirs are going to end. What is a sixteen year old girl to do with all that responsibility? The only thing she knows for sure is that the golden eyed boy is there for her and she must find him.

 

D.R. Whitney has crafted a wonderful fantasy world where any adult or teenager can lose themselves in magic and wonder. It is a wide-ranging story filled with mystery, eternal love, and the fulfillment of a destiny that has waited thousands of years to reach culmination. This is a tremendous treat for any fantasy lover and I am especially pleased by the author’s ability to draw the reader into her spell and keep us wanting more.
