Cinderella authors unite! Introducing a new Cinderella tale slated for publication in June: A Dream Not Imagined by Shantelle Mary Hannu. Shantelle is among the next generation of entrepreneurial authors. I think it’s an exciting time for young people (and us old ones) who love to write, and have the opportunity to get their work out there and start building an audience as they build their careers.

I’ve got an exclusive mini-interview with Shantelle in my Reader’s Group newsletter which goes out on Tuesday night. Be sure to sign up to find out more about Shantelle and her new book. I’m excited for her and her future as an author!

About the Book

A MAID, a PRINCE, and a DUKE. A GARDENER, a STEPMOTHER, and a secret…

     Ellie Abbington, a beautiful yet unassuming young woman, quietly longs for her life to change. Too privileged to associate with the servants—too underprivileged to associate with her own family; she dreams a dream of a prince and a happily ever after.

But it could be that her own stepsisters, conniving Dezmarie and easily-influenced Adelaide, are dreaming the same dream…of the same prince.

In the end, are dreams even all they’re made out to be? Especially with deep and long-hidden secrets about to be unearthed?

A Dream Not Imagined is a non-magical fairytale novella based loosely on the classic tale of Cinderella.

Tentative Release Date: June 2015
