I just can't wait to be King.. ... Said no one ever. Except for that one kid, but he was too young to understand. - Levi Rearden. Levi Rearden's life changes the moment he meets Grace Ann Bryant. However, he finds out that his life changed many years ago. He was put on the path to her doorstep long before he ever stepped foot in Shady Grove, Alabama. Now that he has her heart, he begins to question whether or not the love between them is natural or a well-planned out romance by her father and his knights. In the midst of an attack by the Summer Queen, Rhiannon, Grace realizes what Levi's middle name is without him telling it to her. This fuels Levi's doubts about his place in Shady Grove and his place in Grace's heart. But staying true to his instincts, Levi pushes through his fears and doubts to do the right thing no matter what. The whole town of Shady Grove responds to the challenge of Summer. As Levi treks into that realm to retrieve his Queen, he learns more about the loyalty of his people, as well as, what he is really made of. But is it enough to save her? Is it enough to be the King the exiles need? Suck It Up, Buttercup is the 12th book in the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen by Kimbra Swain. If you are the reader that has asked, "What is Levi's middle name?" Then this is your book because this question will finally be answered along with many other shocking revelations as Levi takes us from Shady Grove, into his past, into the Summer Realm, then back home again. Suck It Up, Buttercup! has many laugh-out-loud moments and a few in which you might need a box of tissues. You are going to love Levi's story. Interview with Kimbra Swain Q: Why did you write the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen Series? A: I was born and raised in Alabama, and I loved the Urban Fantasy genre. I wanted to mix those two things, but remain true to the Southern traditions and values that I was raised on: family, community, and determination. The Trailer Park Series is my ode to the South. Q: What is the most important part of the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen to you? A: Every single character in the series is real to me. The development of each one is so important for me going through the series. Some of them, including Grace, start off with many flaws. I should say especially Grace. Q: How much of Grace is patterned after yourself? A: Oh, gosh! Grace and I are a lot alike. Sassy and smart. However, Grace is very compassionate and trusting. She's also got a mouth on her. She says things that aren't PC, but as her character develops over the series, she sees that there were things she was very wrong about. Grace's story is about becoming who she was meant to be, and fate doesn't define that purpose. She does. Q: What are your future plans for the Trailerverse? A: The main series will have 15 books with a short story anthology focusing on the minor characters. I will be launching Wynonna's story this fall in Stories of Frost and Fire. The werewolf, Dominick Meyer, will also get his own series called Dog River Wolfpack. It will launch this fall, too. I have future undetermined plans to expand the Trailerverse.
