It’s so much fun to think about the twists in a fairy tale, isn’t it? I love coming up with a new play on a story you already love where you get to explore new aspects of your favorite characters. How do you craft a twisted tale? Did you always have these questions about Disney’s classic tales growing up? She’s got a lot of baggage when we start this quest-how she feels about an ex she never really got closure with, a complicated childhood and the loss of her mother at a young age, plus this new relationship with Wonder Boy and where it might lead. What is your favorite part of Go the Distance? I’m so happy to be here! The way I like to sum up this story is like this: Imagine you had to go to the Underworld to save the soul of the woman your ex-boyfriend left you for. For those that aren’t aware, it’s a twist on Hercules and Meg! Tell us more, without giving away spoilers! But today I am excited to say it is all about her latest Disney Twisted Tale based on Disney’s Hercules! So without further delay let’s get started! Welcome, Jen! I’m so excited to have you back to talk about your latest Disney Twisted Tale, Go The Distance. Written by the author of Mirror, Mirror and Conceal, Don’t Feel, Jen Calonita’s latest twist is sure to delight and surprise.Jen Calonita Exclusive Author Interview is here and I am so excited! I have talked to Jen before about another one of her Disney Twisted Tales, Conceal, Don’t Feel. Can Meg put her past behind her and use her quick-wit to defeat monsters and gods alike, including the nefarious Hades? Will she finally figure out her place and contribution to the world? Or will her fear of commitment have her running away from an eternity of godhood with Herc? The ex-boyfriend who immediately moved on to someone else while she was stuck in the Underworld.

The ex-boyfriend she saved by selling her soul to Hades.

The mission? Oh, just to rescue her ex’s current wife from the Underworld. All Meg has to do is complete a mysterious quest.

Luckily, Hera has a solution, offering Meg a chance to prove herself worthy of a spot on Mt. That is, until Zeus tells Meg that she can’t be with Hercules because she’s, well, mortal. After Hercules proves he’s a true hero and regains his godship, all seems right in the world.
