He's also offering a sampling of gift cards and books, including The Road Letters, his newly published fairy tale, The Princess and the Servant Boy, and of course, Mommy Confidential: Adventures from the Wonderbelly of Motherhood.

Oh, and you gotta see The Road Letters book trailer. It rocks!

Author Phil Ribaudo Publishes Second Book
The Princess and the Servant Boy: A Fable About Love and Following Your Heart

Mountain View, CA January 1, 2008 - American author Phil Ribaudo is once again taking chances in the literary world, this time changing genres with his first personally illustrated fairy tale. LuLu gets the publishing nod this time around. This is the second book by Phil Ribaudo. His first was The Road Letters, a memoir published by Aventine Press.

Using melody and a fable-esque backdrop, Ribaudo twists a charming tale filled with peril, life lessons, hope, and romance. The Princess and the Servant Boy is for all ages to enjoy and appreciate, offering different meanings and layers of storyline to different audiences.

The book is beautifully illustrated and is printed on 44 vibrant color pages. Ribaudo breaks ground for the second time with his trademark concept of background music via a suggested list of songs that compliment and add flavor to the story. The Princess and the Servant Boy is truly a symphonic work of art.

Summary:
Nicholas and Jeneveve are from different kingdoms and different backgrounds, yet found each other by chance encounter. Separated by kingdoms, social classes, and the dangerous Black Forest, they court each other through songs carried on the wings of doves and the Blowing Winds. Nicholas and Jeneveve inevitably fall in love. Finally, in an attempt to be with his long distance love, Nicholas travels through precarious lands filled with sorcery, witchcraft, and the unknown. He loses his way and finds it again, and only by the guidance of the Twinkling Light does he overcome demons and dragons to claim Princess Jeneveve’s heart…
