Here I am again as part of the Five Glass Slippers blog tour!! The Cinderella of the day today is author Rachel Heffington, with her story The Windy Side of Care.
Rachel
Heffington is a Christian, a novelist, and a people-lover. Outside of the realm
of words, Rachel enjoys the Arts, traveling, mucking about in the kitchen,
listening for accents, and making people laugh. She dwells in rural Virginia
with her boisterous family and her black cat, Cricket.
In
February 2014, Rachel released her debut novel, Fly Away Home, and is excited to collaborate on Five Glass Slippers with her fellow
authoresses. She hopes to release her second full-length novel and first
mystery (Anon, Sir, Anon) in autumn
2014. For more on Rachel, her current projects, and writing in general, visit
her on her blog: www.inkpenauthoress.blogspot.com.
Alisandra is determined to have her
rights. She knows that she is the king’s secretly dispossessed daughter, the
true heir to the throne. Prince Auguste is an imposter, and if she plays her
cards right, Alis will prove it to the world! That is, if charming Auguste
doesn’t succeed in winning her heart before she gets her chance . . .
****************
And we come to the interview...
Me: How did you come up with
the title, ‘The Windy Side of Care’?
Rachel: When in doubt, quote Shakespeare. If you look under the decorative
title of the first chapter of TWSOC, you will see a quotation from Much Ado
About Nothing. That quote was the spring-board for my entire retelling. :)
Me: Shakespeare, sounds very neat! :)
****************
The Windy Side of Care sounds like a lovely story! I'm hoping to start reading it and all the other Cinderella retellings from Five Glass Slippers soon!! :)
