So I'm toying with an idea for a book, as in to actually write and publish. I've written quite a lot past this point, but I wanted to give you all a taste, or snippet of the story to maybe catch your interest. A couple reviews and maybe I'll post more. That is, if people like it.
OPENING NOTE:
Over the years, the tale of Cinderella has spread throughout the world, delighting the minds of its readers and listeners, old and young alike, with its magic pumpkins, wicked villains, charming princes, and its humble heroine. But I regret to inform you that the story you have so long heard is not what actually happened.
Now, dear readers, presented to you by her eldest step-sister Anastasia, is the true story of "Cinderella."
Prologue:
January 16, 1817 -A château in France
Even now, I can hear the thundering wheels of the approaching carriages; can feel the aching fear shudder through my body. I write this hurriedly in the soft moonlight, my breathing labored. I suppose it is really all my fault, I who heard and saw what I did, and who suspected them from the first. But through my blindness and fear, I lost everything that was dear to me. Now the hope that someone finds this book may be the only hope left to save the Prince, my family and all of the innocent people involved, and of the evil plans, already set in motion, to be stopped. For, encased in this journal, is the true story of what actually happened….
