AHH!! Isn't it gorgeous?? ;D I'm blown away by the work of my talented artist sister and an author friend...they've made my story a cover that I just adore! :)
Story Description:
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
