But a writer can't grow by keeping everything hidden, and so putting one's efforts out there is a necessary step... and one that can be very intimidating!
I know it took me a long, long time before I even showed my sisters what I'd been writing when no one was around...!!!
But a fan and reviewer, Shantelle Mary Hannu, is now taking that step, and is preparing to release her first work; a Cinderella retelling.
She's collaborated with a friend to make up the cover art for her, and today is her cover reveal, the first step toward release!!!
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?
