If the Slipper Fits…

OK, so those of you who keep in touch with me via Facebook and Twitter know I’m all kinds of aflutter over selling my Suddenly Cinderella Series to uber fab digital-first publisher, Entangled.

Even so, there comes a time once deals are struck and contracts are inked that as writers we must descend from our swirling pink clouds to terra firma and well, write some stuff.

But before the writing, mes cheres, comes the research and depending on your subject, that can be the very best part. In the case of my Suddenly Cinderella Series, the plot device that connects all three books is shoes!

Behold my very own take on Cinderella slippers, late 1930’s vintage red velvet evening shoes from the legendary Saks Fifth Avenue. In the spirit of “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” these princess worthy heels will be passed among my three heroines, starting with women’s magazine editor, Macie Graham of OPERATION CINDERELLA, coming this October ’12, then going to fashion photographer Francesca St. James (PROJECT CINDERELLA) and lastly to plus-size personal chef Stefanie Stefanopoulos (THE CINDERELLA CAPER).

How can one pair of high fashion heels fit all three heroines? Well, for starters, they’re magical shoes. (In the words–word–of ever-eloquent actor Charlie Sheen, “Duh!”) Secondly they’re strappy, not enclosed, so there’s more wiggle room, so to speak. Lastly, if we can suspend our disbelief and accept that a single pair of jeans–jeans for gosh sake–can be worn by multiple women, shoe sharing should be a snap.

For now, join me in playing dress up!

  1. I KNOW, me, too. We could work out a shoe-share, perhaps. Size 8 but probably the sizing would be more comparable to a 7 today.

  2. Because your balance sheet is a snapshot of your business at any given time,
    it needs the totals from your general ledger sub-accounts.
    All of us heard misleading statements made by some tax resolution companies, with
    phrases such as “settle for pennies on the dollar”, referring to the IRS program called Offer in Compromise ‘ promising their potential clients to settle their tax debt
    for much less that they really owe. Mail the information to the IRS
    address shown in the lower left corner of the notice.

  3. It is completely safe and found to be very helpful in solving problems like
    thinning hair and scalp problems. Lack of this vitamin can actually speed up hair loss.
    The combined groups also boasted greater anagen conversion and follicular enlargement over the individual compounds
    alone.
