Not since Harry Potter & Twilight… has an author created such a bewitching treat… this is the first time a publisher has presented a live promotional show of this caliber for a Major Epic Fantasy Series. It’s dynamic, bold and the scope and talent is simply amazing!” (Russ Regan, Former President of Motown and 20th Century Records)

(LOS ANGELES: September 8th, 2010) – D.R. Whitney, Arthurian scholar and author of “The Last Princess and the Cup of Immortality” has announced that the Goddess Prophecies theatrical team will be performing at The Orange County Children’s Book Festival on Sunday October 3rd in Costa Mesa, CA.

With the building fanfare, fantasy’s new heroine, Vivienne Le Faye has been taking the world of fantasy and social networking by storm. 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.”

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 27, 2009 — Newly released, debut book series, The Goddess Prophecies, by author D. R. Whitney reads like a fantasy franchise ahead of its time. Self-prophesized? Whitney’s journey for creating her magical world onto the page (and the upcoming film adaptation), would make for yet an interesting read alone… almost twenty years in the making.

The first book of The Goddess Prophecies:The Cup of Immortality is for sale at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble

Now taking an official bow with the release of her series’ Book One: “The Cup of Immortality” (Crescent Moon Press), Whitney gears for what insiders are calling the next “Lord of the Rings” or “Harry Potter” tome, of a new kind. “The Goddess Prophecies,” an epic fantasy series, takes place from the Fourth Century A.D. to the End of Days. It follows one extraordinary family whose reign began in a time of white magic and mysticism. The last descendent of the Lady of the Lake, a modern and daring twenty-something inherits a mysterious Ruby Amulet and, unaware of her noble lineage, her portentous dreams lead her on an epic heroic quest. The heroine becomes an instant target as she soon finds she is being followed by two secret societies – a centuries-old underground organization, and the last of the knights from Charlemagne come calling – and will do anything to obtain the Relic. Both want to stop her from finding out the truth: that she carries a secret that could rock the world.

Filmmaker Armand Mastroianni is the latest among Hollywood players to enter the pool of development interest in The Goddess Prophecies:

“I found the book to be innovative in a genre that had virtually every aspect of the literary fantasy world explored. The tale is immediately enthralling, creating fascinating characters involved in a captivating plot. I continually encounter statistics about fantasy-based films which reinforce my belief that ‘The Goddess Prophecies,’ made into 3D, can become a fantastic and engrossing film viewer experience as well as a worldwide box office success. This further reinforces my belief that the new 3D technology is the future of the film industry. Consider that 3D screenings have outperformed their 2D counter-parts by more than double in attendance rates and over three times in revenue. ”

As is every novelist’s dream to have Hollywood knocking on their door, Whitney, whose twenty-year journey for creating her magical world onto the page, has earned that knock: http://www.box.net/shared/5lo3o4ma3j. Mastroianni’s development interest sends a clear message about creating a serious presence in the fantasy market, as otherwise claimed by such titles as “Harry Potter” or “Lord of the Rings.” Adds Mastroianni, “There are few properties of this quality around these days and it is a rare pleasure when you find one.” Among numerous films to his credit Mastroianni also directed the film, “The Celestine Prophecy,” based on the bestselling book by James Redfield, and as co-produced by Barnet Bain (”What Dreams May Come”).

Dynamic, immersive, and bound to captivate audiences with wonder and enchantment, The Goddess Prophecies has been developed as a multi-book series in anticipation of its widespread demand, from page to screen. Whitney has already begun work on the second installment of her fantasy franchise with “The Witches Hammer,” to be followed by “The Scepter of Royalty,” “The Platter of Plenty,” and a subsequent volume, “The Orb of Majesty.”

With the emergence of Whitney’s first book, the distinguished John Paine offers his praise (notably recognized among New York’s publishing elite, including his editorial work at Penguin Group USA): “‘The Cup of Immortality’ by D.R. Whitney is a highly original fantasy. It weaves back and forth between a traditional setting and a striking alternative world set in modern times. With its well-realized characters and stirring action, I would recommend it to any reader for a fresh voice in fantasy. It’s a beautifully crafted and conceptualized series.”

The Goddess Prophecies was inspired by a series of dreams that led author and Arthurian scholar, Whitney, to England where she ultimately wrote her epic fantasy. A successful entrepreneur, experienced in writing for media, Whitney changed the course of her life when she became fascinated with Arthurian and Celtic studies; ultimately making it her life’s work. Next to the current book, the series’ multi-media entertainment will include the film adaptation, video game, animated/live-action feature, soundtrack, and the live operatic musical stage event.

The singularity and passion of Whitney’s vision, imagination and her command of the subject matter continues to attract the interest and support of some of the top talent in the world. As best exemplified by the blockbuster success of “Harry Potter,” “Lord of the Rings,” and “Chronicles of Narnia” – from the page to the screen and stage – fantasy is currently the most successful and sought-after literary/entertainment genre of all media.

Mastroianni further states. “Escapism into other worlds has always held a special fascination for film audiences, as we know from the huge box office success of such films as ‘Harry Potter,’ ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ and ‘The Chronicles of Narnia.’ I do believe ‘The Goddess Prophecies’ would make an epic film and be a huge success at the box office. It offers so much for the viewer including a constantly changing visual landscape, which with today’s technology and advances with computer generated effects, affords unlimited possibilities.”
